Structurally altering wood like that is going to lead to much more wind damage and will probably kill a lot of forest workers.

And if the end-result it just wood fibre pulp, why not just grow woody scrubs in plantations?

Can't we use a fast growing plant like bamboo?

Bamboo is a type of giant grass that isn't composed quite the same way as regular wood.
