<p>Hi Alex</p>
<p>I've seen your post from last April and am very interested in just planting 5 acres of Black Locust to keep a woodbnurner going on short rotation coppice and maybe sell anything that is good quality. I've seen people advising to grow the thorn free variety. How did you get on?</p>

Anybody know of any Hybrids available? I am specifically looking for Tulln 81-62 Hybrid which was developed for extra fast growing for firewood. Mentioned here in this study: Black locust | waldwissen.net Any ideas? Thanks

I'm new to this forum and growing trees in general and I could do with some advice. I have three fields and I want to become self sufficient for firewood for heating/hotwater/cooking in a woodburner w water jacket and rayburn. I have planted one of the fields with mixed willow and the other half in black locust which I grew from seed from ebay (no idea what variety). I have now become aware that the speed of growth depends on the variety and that there are some even faster growing hybrids out there. I would now like to plant another 2 acres of Black Locust but with e fast growing hybrid. I saw this page that refers to a study of different varieties/hybrids and I am now trying to find the "Tulln 81-62" variety that apparently can only be propagated from suckers. Here is the link to the research: Black locust | waldwissen.net Although thorns are a big issue with these trees, I can't find anything that matches the stats for these trees in terms of energy per square metre per year. Any idea how I might track this hybrid down? Is anybody growing this hybrid over here? Thanks everyone.
