Griz, I already have some in the barn. I just don't want 2-3 cords. But it fell into a field and crushed the fence and almost took out a concrete livestock waterer so it needs to be cleaned up soon, but I am kind of dreading it. Oh well, so i can.
Would you get this or the 4 oaks, two black locusts, and a cherry that I have seen down as well while driving around checking fences? And I am not done checking fence yet.
Finished riding fence. Add two more oaks, a huge beech, a cherry , a red maple, and two more poplars.
So much wood....so little time.... I'd start with the best & work backwards.Hoping to eventually get it all.
Have a few here but not quite that big. Amazing how fast they grow though. Have a half cord of big tooth aspen from a tree I cut down in my sister's yard. With that and all my white pine I have plenty of wood that for most around here isn't very poplar. That one looks like it would make someone a nice ten year supply of kindling.
I am headed that way, but that poplar needs to be dealt with due to location. Sooner rather than later. I think I will put an add in CL and see if there is any interest.
Good plan,be great for Spring/Fall burning to the right person.Never burned any myself,but know that its a bit less dense than Silver Maple,dries about as fast & splits fairly easily.
I would be inclined to believe that tulip poplar, measured by mass, is in the running for the fastest growing tree. It is far from the most dense wood, but it can grow big fast. Black locust might be able to give it a run for the money being that it is so dense, but I think that a tulip poplar can probably outgrow the locust.
