I cut these poplar last Dec. 6 months they have been standing there and are starting to grow with no roots 8) Bugs
I would not like to use a chainsaw on that baby in a few years when its all covered up . Someones going to get a surprise 8) Bugs
It looks like it ate it! Poplars are amazing - we have them lining our driveway, and I have to remove baby ones every year that will try to come up from their runners. Maybe you should plant it someplace, as a reward for survival. :-D
What a great idea , It would be the largest cutting I've ever taken, I'm off to do it now and will post pics 8) Bugs
Lol Bugs I hope your neighbours can see into your garden, they'll be ringing the men in white coats Also I would call the Guinness Book of Records people and see if the largest cutting record is now trounced.
heres an update on the largest cutting I ever taken. Last night I was talking to a tree surgeon buddy of mine . He reckons that it will definately root. He said he used to cut poplar into 6 foot lenghts and plant them 1 foot in the ground along motorways and they would root. What will happen is that it will root around the edge and the inside will rot . Still it will be an interesting experiment Bugs
That's amazing Bugs. This will be an experiment to watch. The zombie poplar tree You should post yearly progress reports, of course marking the date in our calendar so we all can wait anxiously all year for it
Poplars are a bit like willow then I take it? You just have to stick a twig in the ground and before you know it's rooted!!! Great for willow screens though. :-D
