Dear All,
I was wondering, has anyone planted trees useful for harvesting clarinet
timber? Some folk have sucessfully planted reed cane somewhere down south
here in Australia, but I've never heard of anyone planting mpingo or some
other specie. There is quite a bit of interest here at the moment about
agro-forestry and planting hardwood trees for harvest in 20-30 years time
(long-term investment!). I was wondering about clarinet timber instead of
investing in superannuation, but I know not a thing about the possibilities
or impossibilities as yet. I'd love to hear any information anyone may
have,
Regards,
Gavin
