Ramial chipped wood

RCW consists of the twigs and branches of trees and woody shrubs, preferably deciduous, including small limbs up to 7 cm.

The goal is to develop an airy and spongy soil that holds an ideal amount of water and resists evaporation and compaction, while containing a long-term source of fertility.

The use of willow RCW mulch on mine waste rock can promote the spontaneous colonization of boreal tree seedlings.

The cedars are characterized by their constituents of the heartwood toxic to microorganisms, tropolone derivatives (thujaplicines) phenolic nature, and are therefore to be avoided in the production of ramial chipped wood.

They contain 75% of the minerals, amino acids, proteins, phytohormones and biological catalysts (enzymes) found in the tree.
