  • Description: The purpose of this publication is to generalize the available experimental data on the survival, growth, stability, technical and other characteristics of this hybrid and to clarify proposals for its practical use. Long-term studies have been carried out on the five variety testing sites in various soil and climatic zones of the South-Eastern part of Russia and in Ukraine. The survival rate of this poplar were quite high (from 75 to 96%), on average 81%. The age of economic exploitability in the forest-steppe zone with a 20 m2 feeding area per tree was equal to 29 years. To this age the 'Voronezh Giant' accumulated stem wood stock of 550-640 m3/ha. The duration of shoot growth was 146 days, and the growing season was 177 days. It was distinguished by high winter hardiness, relative drought resistance, wind resistance, low damage by primary and secondary entomopests, and affection with phytodiseases, but a low straight trunk. It has a fairly high timber density, the length of the wood fiber and the cellulose content, which is important for the pulp and paper industry. The freshly picked green leaves of this poplar are close to the nutritional value of meadow herbs and lucerne. In general, the poplar 'Voronezh Giant' is promising for growing wood pulp, introducing into energy, shelter-belts, roadsides, riversides and other reclamation plantings. Given into account its male gender and high decorativeness, it can be also recommended in the greenery landscaping.
