Home-Grown Energy from Short-Rotation Coppice

By George Macpherson

This work pulls together information on this ecologically acceptable use for set-aside land: growing willow and poplars for fuel. This crop is harvested every three years by cutting off the long vertical stems of trees close to the ground. They regrow to be harvested three years later.
