Description
Hybrid poplars usually live 35 years or more and grow to 45-90 feet in height. Once established, on suitable sites and given adequate light, nutrients and moisture, the hybrids can grow 4-6 feet a year early in their life span. Diameter increase on a good site will be 1-2 inches per year. First year performance of hybrids and other trees is very dependent on moisture and sunlight availability. They will tolerate a wide variety of nutrients and soil pH as low as 3.0, but of course may not do as well. They can produce 2-3 cords/acre/year, so four acres should heat most homes. (Cord=4~x4~x8 pile). On some sites the hybrids simply will not perform well even with the best care.
