"FAST GROWING TREES"

hybrid willow tree that we know as the weeping willow is a hybrid of the Peking willow of China (Salix babylonica) and the white one of Europe (Salix alba). It grows in almost every country in the world, and is well-known as a shade and ornamental tree. The name comes from the long, drooping branches, which combine with a short trunk and rounded crown to produce the tree's distinctive appearance.
The weeping willow is a deciduous tree which can grow up to eight or ten feet a year under ideal conditions, which makes it popular for landscaping. It bears its leaves earlier and loses them later than most other trees and grows naturally in wet areas. In fact, its love of water can make the roots a problem for pipes, and care should be taken to avoid planting weeping willows near any water system.
The willow tree is very cross-fertile, and different varieties of it frequently form hybrids. This is one reason why it tree is so widespread, growing all over the north temperate zone from Japan to North Africa and all over Europe. The most common weeping willow cultivar is Salix Sepulcralis Group 'Chrysocoma' which bears bright yellow shoots. However, there are several cultivars available, including 'Babylon', also known as 'Napoleon', with its classic weeping branches and 'Crispa', a mutant strain with twisted leaves. Other cultivars of weeping willow are 'Pendula', loved for its resistance to disease and 'Tortuosa', named for its contorted branches. The white variety of Europe was traded all over the world for its properties as a pain-reliever.
The weeping willow can be easily propagated from a cutting. The cutting should be taken from a mature tree, preferably in February or March when the leaves have fallen from it but the ground is not yet frozen. Your cutting should be about one to two inches in diameter and no more than six feet long. After selecting a spot that is comfortably distant from water pipes, dig an 18-inch-square hole, breaking up the soil and adding compost. Place your cutting upright in the hole, covering the base to a height where the tree is sturdy. Pat the soil firmly around the base with your hands.
It is only necessary to water the willow tree in prolonged dry periods during the first year. Use a shredded or compost mulch to protect the roots in the winter and you are sure to have a very healthy and long living addition to your garden.>>> http://budurl.com/willowtrees

find the right trees -hybrid willow trees/fast growing trees

A home that has a backyard cultivated through gardening actually creates a friendly and comforting atmosphere for those who live within the vicinity. Nothing could compare to a place of solitude in your homes where you could hibernate for a few hours in case you wish to be relieved of the everyday tensions that the outside world heap on you.
So what makes up a garden? Of course, there cannot be the absence of plants, grasslands, and of most of all hybrid willow trees! Yes, every single gardening enthusiast is aware of the fact that the trees are the musts. Why? There are certain purposes of these trees in the garden. They can either be used for varied landscaping styles, be used as a fence that will separate one part of the garden from another, or they could provide you a place for your moments of reflection and escape from the pressures of work and those stress-causing individuals around you.
It is a natural inclination for a person to express a certain delight for trees no matter what kind they are. Does it too nice to listen to the sound of the leaves being swayed by the wind? Does it too relaxing to take a short nap under a tree or be on a picnic with your loved ones? The appreciation for the beauty and purpose of the trees in the gardens has been a recognizable fact since time immemorial. And more so, as essential parts of nature, gardening without the inclusion of trees makes it nonetheless a useless task.
Your garden can be the most relaxing and pleasurable place that you desired.

A Tree Planting Guide -hybrid willow trees

When planting trees, the first thing you need to take into consideration before choosing a location is the mature height and spread of the tree. Though you may be tempted by all the different species that are available, take care to choose carefully, especially if you have an average size yard, because crowding spoils the growth and appearance of trees, particularly specimen trees.
It is typically most economical to plant young trees. Planting a mature tree is difficult and can be expensive if done professionally. It may well justify the expense, however, if a mature tree is badly needed for a terrace or for screening. What you are paying or is the time it takes a smaller tree to mature.
The best time to transplant a tree is in the early spring or late fall. You can plant trees in full leaf with the aid of wilt-proof sprays that seal the leaves against moisture loss until the roots are established, but this costs money and entails greater risks than buying your tree and planting it in early spring.
When planting a tree over 6 feet in height, it will suffer less setback if moved with a bur lapped root ball.
Since the root system needs fertile soil when it is planted, special steps should be taken. Dig the hole 2 feet deep and at least 1 foot wider than the full spread of the roots in each direction. The bottom should be broken up with a pitchfork and thoroughly mixed with peat, leaf mold, loam, etc.
Manure can be used sparingly and should only be spread on the top of the hole or it can burn the roots. The deeper you cultivate the hole, the better for your tree. Once planted, you can cultivate around it but not under the roots. If you hit a layer of building debris or clay, which is not at all uncommon near a house, you must remove this layer and replace it with good soil, or better still, garden humus.
If you are planting a bare root seedling, you will want to protect it by "heeling in" a vacant flower bed where it may be kept before planting as long as it is dormant.
This means laying it on its side at an angle to the ground and covering the roots with good soil. When you are ready to take it from the soil, give it a mud bath or "puddle" it. This protects the roots from exposure to air before planting and also from any air pockets which may exist around the roots after planting. After filling the hole to the depth required by the roots of the plant, flood it with water to settle the soil at the bottom; when this has drained away, place the tree in the position in which it is to grow and fill in the soil around it.
Work the soil around the roots using a stick or shovel handle, and make certain there are no air pockets. Spread the roots naturally, planting the tree at around the same depth as its former location. When the hole is two-thirds, of the way full, tramp it down and fill with water again. Fill in the remaining soil without tramping it down, so that the water will drain towards the trunk.
A balled-and-bur lapped tree is one that has been dug with a solid ball of soil in which it has been growing in, its root system is thus amply covered and protected. The ball is held in place by a secure covering of burlap and twine. To plant it, set the tree in a hole slightly lower than it stood in the nursery. Work the soil beneath this depth, as described previously.
If the ground is dry, fill the hole with water and let it soak in before planting. Cut the burlap at the top when you put the tree in place, and roll it back a few inches. You will plant the burlap and all. The burlap will soon rot away.
After the tree is planted you can cut it back sharply. If necessary brace the tree with wire ropes. For the first year, the more cultivation around the tree the better, keeping weeds away, too, with straw or mulch, in the spring and fall will help keep the moisture in the ground.

PRESS RELEASE: USDA seeks public input on conservation policy issues

PRESS RELEASE

USDA seeks public input on conservation policy issues

  PORTLAND, ORE. March 2, 2011: One of six regional meetings seeking public input on natural resource policy issues will take place Friday, March 18, at the Smith Memorial Student Union on the campus of Portland State University, Portland, Ore.

This Western regional meeting, which will be 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., is open to anyone with an interest in natural resource conservation policy issues.

As required by Congress in the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act (RCA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture is to gather public input on natural resource conservation policy issues. The overall goal of this effort is to improve delivery of conservation services to landowners and communities, as well as to expand participation in conservation programs.

At each regional forum, discussion will focus on three broad topic areas: water security, climate variability and landscape integrity. A panel of invited speakers will present comments, followed by open discussion with forum participants.

Panelists confirmed to provide perspectives on water security at the Portland meeting are Joe Whitworth of The Freshwater Trust; Marc Thalacker of Three Sisters Irrigation District; and Dick Moss of Provost & Pritchard. Discussing climate variability will be Dan Keppen of the Family Farm Alliance, and David Ervin of Portland State University. Landscape integrity issues will be the topic for Jennifer Allen of Portland State University. Also invited to discuss landscape integrity issues are Michael Powelson of The Nature Conservancy, and Jim Stone, a Montana farmer.

There is no fee to attend the regional meetings but registration is requested. To register, go to www.farmfoundation.org and follow the link from the item on the home page.

The purpose of the RCA, which provides broad strategic assessment and planning authority for USDA, is to ensure that USDA programs for the conservation of soil, water and related resources are responsive to the long-term needs of the nation. The overall goal to improve delivery of conservation services to landowners and communities, and to expand participation in conservation programs. USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) is the lead agency working on the RCA and is collaborating with nine other USDA agencies: Agricultural Research Service, Economic Research Service, Rural Development, Farm Service Agency, Forest Service, Risk Management Agency, National Institute for Food and Agriculture, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, and the National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Input is sought on specific natural resource conservation issues and economic and public policy issues related to agriculture and rural America, including: 1) natural resource status and trends; 2) emerging challenges; 3) emerging opportunities; and 4) long-term impacts on natural resource conditions and food, fuel, and fiber production.

A panel of nationally-recognized thought leaders in soil and water conservation and agricultural landscapes has been appointed to contribute to the regional and national meetings. Members are: Roger Allbee, former Vermont Secretary of Agriculture; Varel Bailey, Bailey Farms, Inc., Anita, Iowa; Craig Cox, Environmental Working Group; Otto Doering, Purdue University; P.J. Haynie, Haynie Farms, Hague, Va., and National Black Grower's Council; Teresa Lasseter, Moultrie, Ga.; A.G. Kawamura, former California Secretary of Agriculture; Pat O'Toole, Ladder Ranch, Wyoming and Family Farm Alliance; Ross Racine, Intertribal Agriculture Council; Charles Stenholm, Olsson, Frank, Weeda Terman Bode Matz PC; and Sara Wyant, Agri-Pulse Communications.

Information from the six regional forums will feed into a national agricultural landscapes conference planned April 7-8, 2011, at the Marriott Metro Center, Washington, D.C. The first forum was March 3 in Rock Island, Ill. The other regional forums will be:

March 10, Bouck Center, State University of New York, Cobleskill, N.Y.

March 10, Lory Student Center, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, Colo.

March 15, Polytechnic Campus, Arizona State University, Mesa, Ariz., and

March 22, 4-H Center, Columbiana, Ala.

Details on each of the forums are available on the Farm Foundation Web site, www.farmfoundation.org. This project is organized by USDA in collaboration with Farm Foundation, NFP and American Farmland Trust.

fast growing trees: power your car with biomass

	:	So here we are 1/10th of the way through the 21st Century. Today, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles can get you to work leaving only a trail of water from the tailpipe. Plug-in electric cars take it a step further by eliminating exhaust all together. And yet, the feeling of
	:	One solution is Biomass. Specifically, harvesting fast growing trees for electricity production. While not all trees are suitable, fast maturing trees like Paulownias and Hybrid Poplars can be regrown every 7 years. Total lifetime carbon output is essentially zero, and new varieties can be grown without irrigation or chemicals. Paulownias can even grow from the stump once they are cut eliminating the need to re-plant. As an added benefit, such trees can be used to pull heavy medals, nitrates, and harmful chemicals out of the ground and away from our drinking water. Imagine passing several acres of Poplar trees like this one instead of a field of solar panels.
	:	As of 2008, 8% of sustainable clean energy produced in the US comes from Biomass compared with 70%from coal burning methods. As carbon dioxide and it's environmental effects become more evident, fast and cheap renewable energy will become higher in priority. The low startup costs of Biomass (dig a hole, plant a tree, and wait few years) makes it ideal for future energy production. California already exempts Biomass energy producers from Cap and Trade regulations. We can only hope the the rest of the world follows suit.
