KUCHING: Sarawak's forest replanting policy will be boosted by the introduction of fast-growing tree species like RevoTropix (RT)-Paulownia, says Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Chief Minister said RT-Paulownia, a locally-bred variant of the Paulownia or empress tree, could be harvested three years after planting.
