Megaflora Trees
Summary
Ray Allen is a pioneer in the field of bio-energy. It is his goal to plant the MegaFlora tree worldwide. The MegaFlora tree is also known as the HDSR tree – high density, short rotation. It has high density because it has a high yield of lumber and biomass per acre, for fuel and other energy uses. Short rotation, because developers say it can grow to its full size – 60 feet tall, in just three years.
Unlike a traditional tree, the megaflora tree re-grows from its stump after harvest. It also produces no fruit or fertile seeds, so it is non-invasive. Every other biomass has to be replanted. The megaflora tree only needs to be planted once.
