soupagirl Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hi brit. I don't know how much of a hurry you are in for your poplar trees but they grow very easily from cuttings. In January 2011 after batterings from hurricane Klaus the year before and a further succession of storms we decided to half the height of our mature poplar tree which had developed a worrying lean, fortunately it's well away from the house. I took loads of cuttings about 18" long ( this was before the buds had begun to open) and just stuck them in the ground. They are now already nearly 6ft high, I had about an 80% success rate so you might fancy giving it a try if you can get access to a poplar. And the big tree has grown back into a rather attractive 'lollipop' shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
