In this study we searched for willow clones good for biomass production in short-rotation coppice in the southern part of Tohoku area. Eight clones of 4 willow species were gathered from Tohoku and Hokkaido area and cultivated in pots and on farmland near Sendai. After three years of cultivation and examination of productivity, we could select two clones, Salix sachalinensis SENI and S. pseudolinearis FXM, as willow plants with good performance and biomass production in the short-rotation coppice.
