Description
Poplar trees are planted as cuttings using 8 to 10 segments of one-year old stems..Producing your own cuttings is great way to save money and ensure that you have quality stock year after year..All sizes of cutting root equally well. They are all made with a slanting cut at the base and a straight cut at the top to make insertion into the ground easier and distinguish top from bottom!!.They are also very easy to plant and can simply be pushed into loose cultivated soil and firmed in. They will need no support..On dry sites such as sands and gravels, or on banks, we would suggest that you plant a longer cutting and insert a larger proportion into the soil. Both the Poplars have the ability to make roots from any part of the stem and so, if planted deeply, will produce deep roots which will always find moisture.
