Clonal material:
Because relatively few trees are planted on farms, when compared to commercial forestry, research has been carried out to select "elite" trees which will show vigorous growth and be much more even in their development and growth than the seed-grown trees normally provided by nurseries. Wild cherry has been developed in this way by Horticulture Research International to produce Wildstar. In the future (4+ years), clonal planting material of other species will be available through the British and Irish Hardwoods Improvement Programme species groups. "Elite" trees will be more expensive to buy than seed-grown planting material.

Wildstar in now available through a number of approved distributors:
