Paulownia

Technical Potential of the Lilov Variety

The 'Lilov' Paulownia variety, developed by the Transcarpathian State Agricultural Research Station, is a specialized selection adapted to local climatic conditions. The primary value of this variety lies in its optimal balance between rapid linear growth and high-quality wood properties.

Biometric Metrics and Development

• Growth Rates: In its early development stages, the tree exhibits aggressive vegetation. By the age of 5, the trunk diameter reaches 30–40 cm, which is a critical parameter for early plantation profitability.
• Mature Dimensions: An adult tree reaches a height of 15–20 meters. These dimensions allow the variety to be used both for commercial timber production and in landscaping to create rapid-growth shelterbelts.

Practical Wood Application and Landscaping

The wood of the 'Lilov' Paulownia is valued for its low specific weight and high structural stability. It is resistant to warping and cracking, making it a sought-after raw material in the furniture industry and the production of construction materials. From a decorative standpoint, the variety is characterized by broad leaf plates, which provide a high rate of photosynthesis, accelerating biomass accumulation and effectively purifying the air in planting zones.

Utilizing planting material from the Transcarpathian Research Station ensures genetic purity and predictable development, which is vital for long-term agricultural investment projects.
