Hybrid Poplar for Shelterbelts
INDIAN HEAD - Jun 5/07 - SNS -- Agriculture Canada has released a new hybrid poplar developed specifically for the prairie environment.
Named Okanese, this hybrid clone has superior drought and disease resistance. It grows quickly, reaching 10 meters in 10 years.
The name Okanese was selected in partnership with First Nations summer students who worked at the AAFC Shelterbelt Centre and in honor of the Saskatchewan Indian Chief Okanis - the chief of the Okanese Band from 1875 to 1885.
Distribution of the Okanese hybrid poplar will begin in the spring of 2008 and will be made available through the Prairie Shelterbelt Program, as a component of a new hybrid poplar mixture. It will also be released to commercial nurseries.
