Looked forward to getting these trees to see what they'd do for my backyard. Got them in the peak of planting season and put them in the ground as not much more than sticks. Once in the grouns and watered they took off like a rocket. The first year they grew 10 feet and sprouted three new limbs. I would recommend these trees to anyone in the central region of the USA. To bad I will not be able to see these trees reach full potential. I had to relocate to Texas and probably won't make it back to Kentucky anytime soon.

Not yet impressed

I ordered 20 of these hybrid poplars about a year ago. They came at about 4 feet tall as just sticks/trunks (and it looked like the trunks had all been cut at the top to be that height), with no branches or leaves. 16 of the poplars did produce leaves, but did not grow vertically at all. The other 4 must have just had mostly dead trunks, because they only produced a few leaves at the base of the trunks at ground level. If you live where there are deer, make sure they are fenced and deer netted in, because the deer will devour them quickly to about ground level. We had all of ours fenced, but ran out of netting, so 5 of them didn't get the net. The deer somehow managed to eat those 5 down to almost ground level even with fences around them, deer repellant, and the scent of our big dogs. Hopefully we'll see some vertical growth and branches this year on the trees that didn't get damaged, and started out healthy looking. If we do, then I will increase my rating, but definitely don't look for anything spectacular or more than leaves, the first year.

Who's laughing now

I purchased these trees a year ago for our new house in the country. Wasn't sure where I was going to plant them so I gave them a temporary home before running out the door on vacation. My family didn't think it was necessary to plant these sticks because really, what were they going to grow into. This spring they received their permanent location and what a surprise they are to my family when we look at them and I'm laughing now because of how well they've grown in the first year.... Glad I took the advice of the gentleman at the hardware store to purchase Hybrid Poplar for a fast growing tree for a lot with no shade.
