archeri
A fast-growing specie that generally grows straight up and can tolerate a lot of frost. It is a species that is planted a lot because you can quickly have a large tree in your garden.
Archeri has also recently been frequently planted to produce wood. In addition, you can plant it well as a windbreak because it can tolerate quite a bit of wind. Calcareous soil is not a problem but not necessary. Prefers to be in a sunny spot but can tolerate some shade. The growth rate will then be a bit less. The seed that is used for the trees comes from our own nursery.
