The planting of the Biomass Connect Hub Sites has been continuing over the past few weeks. The AFBI Hub site in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland is the latest to have seen activity with the planting of Black Locust, Poplar, Alder and the Miscanthus trials. The plots have been power-harrowed and the willows will be planted this week.
So far at this hub site the following trees have been planted.
| Black Locust ‘Turbo Obelisk’ | 128 |
