The reformation of Evodia Daniellii Benn forests which began this spring is being pushed ahead in the final stage.

An Evodia Daniellii Benn tree bears tens of kilograms of fruits and can yield fruits for a hundred years, so that a large amount of oil can be produced per hectare.

In the DPRK, a large area of Evodia Daniellii Benn forests have been created in all cities and counties except those in northern highlands.

It is of great significance to increase the productivity of such forests in order to supply newly-built regional-industry factories with oil materials needed for their normal production.

Therefore, the effort for reforming Evodia Daniellii Benn forests by grafting buds and branches of good species to those with low fruit productivity is going on simultaneously on a nationwide scale.

When complete, it would effectively solve a series of problems arising in the manuring and cultivation and fruit harvesting by making the trees shorter than those in the past and, in particular, advance the period of harvesting and raise the utility rate of land by increasing the production per hectare.

More than 130 cities and counties across the country are engaged in the full-scale reformation of existing Evodia Daniellii Benn forests and scaling up successes.

Researchers of the Academy of Forest Science are giving scientific and technical assistance to the reformation effort in relevant areas while organizing technical courses and classes in an effective way.

With employees of the oil-producing forest stations across the country, they collected plenty of grafts of good species of Evodia Daniellii Benn in their sleeping period.

Employees of city and county oil-producing forest stations have successfully grafted buds and branches of good species to trees with low fruit productivity.

The reformation of Evodia Daniellii Benn forests continues apace in different parts of the country.
