Applications

 

Our Poplars continue to grow at 6 - 8 feet per year to produce large handsome trees with a stout trunk. They make excellent high screens and windbreaks. They are also used to lift game birds, and for timber.

Poplar is the fastest growing hardwood in the UK and is in demand for furniture, interior joinery, floorboard and pallet making.

They can be coppiced like willows and will regenerate when cut.

The photographs below will give you some idea as to the growth of our poplars.
