United StatesWe ordered four trees and within on week of planting they started to bud. Ships quickly and nicely packaged to protect trees. Just ordered two more. Will update with photos later. Highly recommend.
United StatesTrees came as advertised in pots with helpful literature to help keep them alive.
United StatesI purchased a little 3' tree a few years ago and was shocked when it arrived. I looked like a reject from Charlie Brown's tree shop. However, it really looks beautiful now and is probably close to 30' tall and filled out nicely. We did have to top it a couple of years ago because it was just too thin. Topping solved the problem and it filled out to a great looking tree. The only downside is the roots sprouting all over the place. I have plenty of irrigation, possibly too much, but the roots sprout anywhere from 2' to 20' away from the tree. It is a bit annoying.
United StatesI hope to like them. I planted them and applied a Miracle Grow feed stick to the surrounding ground, sunk in a support post to assist it and there isn't even a bud on any of the branches thus far. I'm not sure how long it should take but both trees seem exactly the same. I just hope it is normal and expect in a few months I should know if it was worth it or I was robbed.
It's completely normal for trees to still be dormant this time of year. Let us know by the end of May if you have yet to see any leaves and we'll be happy to cover them under our dormancy guarantee!
United StatesThe tree arrived in great shape on time.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Hybrid Poplars grow well in various soils - simply make sure you're planting in an area with proper sunlight and well-drained soil.
Then, dig your hole two times the width and depth of the root system, position the tree into the hole and hold it straight. Begin back filling the hole with soil and be sure to completely cover your roots with soil, tamping down so that there are no air pockets underground. Water the planting site to settle the soil and then mulch to retain soil moisture. Mulching also helps to keep an competing growth from invading the planting area.
2. Watering: Hybrid Poplars should be planted in moist soil and be irrigated properly, especially in the first year of planting. Sites that maintain good moisture throughout the year are fine to minimize the need for further irrigation beyond year one. They can handle short-term flooding if the water keeps moving. For ample and continued growth, soil moisture should be monitored.
3. Fertilizing: In fertile soils, including some old pastures, the nitrogen released from organic matter within the soil can be sufficient to carry the trees for several years without the need for added fertilizer. However, a rate of 50 to 150 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year is the general rate applied if needed.
4. Pruning: Prune the trees during the dormant season, in winter. Look for diseased, dead, or damaged limbs as the tree matures. Make a small cut into them with the pruning shears, and if there is no green flesh inside, remove them. Cut at the point where they meet healthy limbs.
