Description
An extract from the shoots can be used as a rooting hormone for various types of cuttings. It is obtained by soaking the chopped shoots in cold water for one day. This fast-growing and wind-resistant tree can be used in windbreaks. In more exposed locations, some form of wind shaping occurs. The tree foliage appears late, often helping it to evade spring storms. The wood is soft, fairly fuzzy in texture, odorless and tasteless, has low flammability, is not durable but very resistant to wear. It is used for making staves for barrels and wood products, it turns well. It makes an excellent fuel.
