Default Growing Super Trees,

Back in the 1970s, Professor Hanover at Michigan State University
developed a program for rapid tree growth called Accelerated Optimal
Growth. One key to rapid tree growth is photoperiod control. Many
trees stop growing in autumn even in a greenhouse with optimal
temperatures because of the short photoperiods.

Biomass researchers have found hybrid poplars to be the fastest
growing trees to produce fuel or paper pulp.

I've been "force" feeding some conifers to see if its possible to get a
super tree(s). Ive made some interesting discoveries in the process.
Still the trees are not giants but it seems they are growing very well.

Im not sure why exactly it is but trace element minerals do seem to
help....
