A paulownia "MegaFlora" Tree Farm in the USA - Paulownia trees are fast growing, high-yield, non-invasive, non-GMO hybrid Paulownia tree that makes planet Earth a better place to live for all forms of life. The MegaFlora tree is a trans-genera clone; it is not a genetically modified organism (GMO). As is the case with all trans-genera clones (example:peach x apricot = sterile nectarine), it is seed-sterile and therefore non-invasive.
The Amazing MegaFlora Tree®
A fast growing, high-yield, non-invasive, non-GMO hybrid Paulownia tree that makes planet Earth a better place to live for all forms of life
THE MAN BEHIND THE MEGAFLORA TREE
Dr. Ray Allen’s initial work that led eventually to the creation of the MegaFlora Tree occurred in the late 1990’s with his participation in a plant breeding effort to develop a 3-way cross of three Paulownia species: P. fortunei, P. tomentosa and P. elongata. The underlying purpose of this effort was to attempt to create a new Paulownia tree that would phenotypically express the most positive features of all three species into a new cross-bred tree and as a result would have greater commercial value; especially such features as fast growing, higher quality wood, better tolerance to environmental extremes, coppicing, and resistance to insect infestation. The effort was successful,
MegaFlora is Genesis Agroforestry’s brand name for this unique tree, which was first developed in 2000-2001 by Dr. Ray Allen, the company’s chief scientist. Except for China, Genesis Agroforestry holds the exclusive world-wide license to the proprietary method and process used to create this unusual and highly valuable tree.
Growing MegaFlora trees has many positive uses and benefits, both to the environment and in commerce. An ideal choice for:
 Reforestation projects and programs - reforesting a deforested area
 Afforestation projects and programs - planting a new forest where none previously existed
 Commercial woodlot enterprise - biomass or wood chips for renewable energy generation, milling high-quality wood products
 Restoring areas from environmental damage - restoring closed mine sites or closed or abandoned industrial sites or areas devastated by a wildfire
ENVIRONMENTAL USES & BENEFITS
Improves air quality via its large (~12-18 inches in diameter) leaves
 A single 3-year old tree sequesters ~0.7 metric tons of CO2, which is ten times more than most other trees
 Pulls local odours and common air pollutants out of the air
 A highly effective windbreak resulting in mitigation of particulate matter (PM) generation and dispersion
Improves soil and water quality via its deep-penetrating roots
 Phytoremediation - removes hazardous inorganic chemicals from soil and water
 Extensive root structure helps build soil fertility
Ideal habitat for wildlife
 Large leaves provide a nutritious food source for ruminant wildlife
 Excellent canopy for birds
Reduced threat of wildfires via its high ignition temperature (420 - 430 °C vs 220 - 225°C for most other trees) - highly non-flammable trees make an excellent fire break
Soil stabilization via its extensive root structure - highly effective in stabilizing soil and reducing erosion
Gobi Desert Afforestation Project - Also called the “Great Green Wall of China” and the “Three North Shelterbelt Project.”
Goals:
Slow desert encroachment and curtail wind-blown dust
Re-establish China’s depleted forests;
Sequester carbon and generate sale of carbon credits
Largest desert afforestation project in the world
By 2050, the Green Wall is planned to extend 2,800 miles, cover 405mm hectares (42% of China), and increase the world’s forest cover by a tenth.
The characteristics of our tree:
A non-invasive semi-hardwood that produces saplings from a section of root, not a seed.
Sends a tap root to a depth of 30-35 feet in the first three year of growth.
Regrows vigorously from the post-harvest stump (coppice), which eliminates the need to replant.
Large leaves (12-24 inches in diameter) effectively sequester large quantities of greenhouse gases (CO2), local odors, and common air pollutants.
Our team has planted millions of trees in the Gobi desert and are read to help you with reforestation projects world wide.
