Description: **Listing is for 15 non-rooted cuttings** It's one of the fastest-growing and most attractive shade trees you can find. Hybrid Poplar Trees quickly become established and can add thousands of dollars to a home's value. Plus, Hybrid Poplars have a pleasing oval shape that complements any property. This particular variety has been selected not only for its vigorous growth, but for its change of leaves from green to yellow in the fall. They've been known to grow up to 8-12 feet in a single year! and cold hardy down to -30 degrees. You can strategically plant them to block the direct sunlight, dramatically lowering your air conditioning costs. They are great for windbreaks and privacy screens. If you can only choose one hybrid poplar, OP-367 gets our highest recommendation. They grow from Mexico to Canada, and are a long lived beautiful tree. You won't be disappointed!

Avoid rooting poplars when there are buds forming or flowers blooming, since the cutting will put its energy toward flowering rather than root production. Prepare a rooting container before gathering a poplar cutting for propagation. Fill a 6-inch plastic pot with a mix of half perlite and half coarse sand or similar. Add water until the mixture feels moderately wet throughout. Soak the hybrid poplar cutting in a bucket of cold water overnight. Make sure the severed end is submerged and the tip is exposed to the air. Leave the cuttings in the water while preparing the rooting container. Prepare rooting medium. Pour equal measurements of perlite and coarse sand in a bucket. Stir the components together until the perlite is well-distributed throughout the sand. Pour the perlite and sand mixture into a 10-inch nursery container, leaving the top inch empty. Run water into the container until the mixture is completely saturated. Let it drain for 30 minutes. Remove the hybrid poplar cutting from the water. Apply a very thin layer of rooting hormone to the severed end using a cotton swab and lightly tap the stem to knock loose the excess. Insert the hybrid poplar cutting to half its length into the prepared rooting container. Press the perlite and sand mixture snugly against the base to increase contact between the cutting and the moist medium. Place the nursery container outdoors in a sheltered area with very light shade and protection from strong winds. Shield the cutting from salt spray, if you live near the beach. Maintain constant moisture in the perlite mixture while the hybrid poplar cutting roots. Water whenever the top 2 inches feel mostly dry. Trickle water into the container until it begins to drip from the drainage holes. Check for roots in six to eight weeks by gently tugging on the base of the stem. Test if the cutting feels loose or if it feels anchored to the perlite mixture, which indicates successful rooting. Transplant the hybrid poplar cutting in its own individual pot until spring. ===================================== **Listing is for 15 non-rooted cuttings** Abundant Farms Nursery focuses on various types of productive plants and trees.
