Mr. Michael Barry:

To pick up on that, if we roll out widespread development of willow it will be particular hybrids. Those hybrids are currently being propagated in places like Sweden but it would be our intent to develop our own propagation facilities on suitable land and propagate the particular hybrids domestically. While Mr. Ryan is correct that willow is a native species there are particular hybrids for getting the right returns and having the right resistance to disease and so on.
