Poplars can be so graceful! There is a dead poplar along the 402 highway that always steals my heart. Standing alone between the highway and the nearby field, it remains with a beautiful flowing trunk. I keep expecting the land owner to cut it down, but it has been there for years and years. I appreciate your use of native material sir! Thank you!
Those poplars are very promising, but this pot is something! It’s colour complements them so well, bc poplars often grow in open spaces, or on boggy terrain. Love this combination.
I really like poplars. A couple years back I ordered some bare root cuttings. This spring I composed a forest planting with them. Very exciting. They grow like weeds. Thanks, keep growing
2:30 hello, Nigel! It is a beautiful sample of poplar. We call that kind a 'silverish'. In the winds backsodes of its leaves also look sparky silverish in the sun. And like a salix it gives variations alot
Poplars has to be one of my favorite if not the favorite tree species from my local area! Here the poplars have really nice spring color in the new leaves, it's almost bright red! I also have them in bonsai training and I have to warn you to not leave the deadwood on for too long because from my experience it seems to rot deep into the trunk and may cause some extra dieback so watch out for that.
I've never seen a poplar grow like that! I wonder if it's a hybrid poplar? There are some very old poplar trees in my area. They seed like crazy! Always coming up in the lawn! I don't find that they sucker from roots though. There are different kinds of poplar... Birds can most definitely carry seeds a long way!! LOL
We don't have native "poplar" by name in Sweden but alot of Aspen (Populus tremula), not to be confused with Quaken aspen in North America ) which I think is quite similar in growth etc. So maybe Aspen could be bonsai too?
Cool that you took the limo for some tree spotting 🕺🏼
Ha, best comment ever!!! Hey if you're going to travel, do it in style, lol!!
Those Poplar trees came together as a nice little forest! I love when Mother Nature gives a gift like this. Good luck with these!
Thank you! Cheers!

Why don’t you have the washing station in the greenhouse over the winter? You’ve done it in the past.
I have the greenhouse full of trees, there is just no room!! Thanks!!

For the future!! Thanks!
How long will it take before you see New growth out of the branches you cut And do you keep it in sunlight?Or in shade After pruning like that
It will stay in the greenhouse until it warms up outside, I think it will begin to grow in a couple of weeks!!
