- Love my Hybrid Poplars. This is a full review video of me growing mine over the last 6 years. I originally covered this after 3 years. Today we show you 3 more years. This is her 6 year birthday. I love them. They are strong, hard, and grow like weeds.
Thanks for watching guys. Please subscribe, and check out my channel for more videos!

It's almost been 4 years since this video came out. I wonder how the tree is doing now
Hey Vinces unite! ME TOO
@@vincentput lol
They updated
@@vincentput Sup lol... I'm here for the 8 year update
And it's been another 3 years. Hope to see an update soon!
the suckers you cut off are your cuttings for rooting, and growing your own. excellent comparison video,
The hybrid poplar is an aggressive forest tree not suitable for residential use. It should not be planted near buildings and septic systems. The trees develop large wide-spreading roots at the surface that will crack pavement and foundations. Large trees after 15 or 20 years develop brittle canopies that drop large branches. After 30 or 40 years they can topple or break off.
I strongly recommend that you plan to coppice or remove this tree as it grows. I have 40 year old trees that are over 100 feet tall. They are constantly dropping large 6" diameter plus, 15-20 foot long branches. Very dangerous. Several trees have toppled in strong winds, breaking off about 1/3 of the way up. All of the lawn is dead around the trees and large roots dominate the surface.
If you really must have these trees, plan to coppice every 15 or 20 years, or whatever size you can handle, because they will grow back for you from the stump. Do not let these trees get so tall that they are dangerous and you require an expensive tree service to come in and remove it for you.
It seems like you know a lot about trees I live in the suburbs with not a lot of space could suggest a fast-growing tree for the shade I live in the north east thank you
@@johndoe3552 Try Alder, it's bushy and grow around 1 - 1,5 meter a year.
u could always cut off at top to slow growth and it will get bushy
As the guy said: always one or two that don't like it.. lol.
All fast growing trees are short lived. Poplars are notorious for this. But they still have their uses. If you are in your seventies and want to plant a tree that you can enjoy, who cares what it's going to do in twenty or thirty years? If you need a quick wind break and are planting away from the house and water and sewer lines they are perfect. They will continually sucker and rejuvenate themselves. They are also good for a quick screen while other, more favorable, trees grow. That being said, they don't grow everywhere. I have very rocky ground and planted some. They did good for six or seven years and (I think) the roots ran out of places to go, and they started to die back. They only got about 15 feet high. Two or three are still alive at 15 years, but they never got over 20 feet and have a lot of dead branches.
I ordered 100 and just got them a couple days ago. I'm so excited! Your video is how I found out about this kind of tree. My kids and I have been busy planting and planting trees. Tomorrow we have more to plant. I can't wait to see them grow.
Thanks for watching it... I have been planning to do a third update. These trees are out of control. Hope you have the same luck. Thanks, take care.
Depends on where you live. If conditions are good they will grow like crazy, if not (like where I live) they will be dead in a few years.
@@alansach8437 where do you live?

Thank you for the update
In maryland the regular poplar trees grow on their own. We finally relented and let a volunteer poplar grow. It went from 5 feet to about 20 feet in about 18 months.
Awesome work. I’m getting some of these.
A few of my neighbors back in the 90s planted these and a few cottonwoods, beautiful trees, the trees can have AGGRESSIVE roots, within 6 years the cottonwood tree planted in their front yard near their driveway had roots going under it lifting the driveway, my other neighbor had a row of lombardy poplars, they didn’t last as long, you don’t see these trees planted for residential use as often, I’ll always love these trees for their beauty
thank you for the follow up!!!!!
🙌
Love it. I just cut some suckers of a tree in a lay-by on the way home n gonna stick them in water. As you said
Another awesome video Brian #1fan
Good informative video, love trees! Thanks! 😎🇺🇸
thank you. wished i found your video 3 years ago
Your video is what convinced me to order this tree and from Burgress seed. I planted mine 2 weeks ago. No sign of growth (above ground) yet, but I’m hopeful. Thanks for the update and for my brief TH-cam comment fame screen shot. Lol
I remember when planting, mine remained kind of dormant until the next season change, and she started shooting up like crazy. Hope yours do as well. Take care brotha!
1st year mine looked dead then I put in ground and it took off, be patient, trust me once it gets going it will make up for the time it took to grow
I love poplar trees. Thanks for this video. I just ordered some seedlings. Hoping for same results are you although the climate I live is very harsh so…
Dude you are awesome!
I ordered about 100 hybrid poplars because of you video. I can't wait to get them in a few weeks. I'm wondering how far apart to plant them. My neighbor ordered lots too so our acreages are really going to look very different in a few years. Thanks for sharing your story with us!

It’s been a year, how did your hybrid poplar forest go?
How they doing
That would make your forest very vulnerable to diseases, you should pair them with some Paulownia trees.
Pawlonia ftw
Hey Brian! How is the 9 year tree looking? I have planted about 50 of these across our 12 acres. Planted them in groves last year as well as lined our driveway with them and am curious what yours looks like now!
Thanks man cuz didn't see your other videos
I need shade quickly plus I plan on harvesting on a 6 year cycle once I get them going. Im going to re-forest huge parts of my land once I get a good donor tree going
Love it thanks for sharing your time patience and love for Nature & Animals I smoked a joint and watched this over and over laughing my ass off because these are the very trees I'm going to put on my property in Huge pots little maintenance beautiful leaf structure I love them and the goats as well 🤣🤐🌱🔬👨🔬✌️
That's great!
Hey Brian would love a new update…but more importantly…are the roots as invasive as some folks make it sound? I’ve got mine planted about 30 ft from the house I noticed yours was about 15 ft or so from that building…any issues?
Hello! I would love to see what it looks like now!
How wide is the trunk on this tree? Currently... and do you know what zone it’s good for?
great video bro. just ordered some hybrid austree willows but wanted to add something different in the mix - definitely grabbing some poplars too! Call me if you ever need a pole barn, I'm next door in Indiana!
Good video great
Love
Thanks we just cut our whole backyard from ash trees they were all dead 😔. Thank you for the video I will be ordering.
I'm in the same boat- cut down too many ash to count thanks to that damn beetle. Be careful with just planting these as it'll create a monoculture- worse than just letting it grow back naturally. There are some great variety tree packs out there that include these, but also some slower growing maples/oaks. Having a nice mix of birch&poplar, spruce&pine, and maple&oak up in the Northeast is your best bet!
Thanks for some great videos. The poplar trees; Do they drop all there leaves in the fall. And what part of the country are you in? Thanks again.
yes they are deciduous
It’s as wide as what the ad shows and what I want , I need a wide wall of this , is that because you cut the “suckers”?
Do they taste good on animals like deers? I live in WA and in a shady area but wanted more trees, do they thrive in shady areas?
In right place it is a good tree large yard lots of room to grow they soak up water there in willow family life span 30-50 years. Good for fast shade and soaking up standing water. Looks like a Lombardy poplar but Hybrid has longer life span generally.
It’s been another three years so those trees are now nine years old let’s see another update
Have you seen the royal empress tree
Great video! I might try using these for tree shaping since they grow so fast
great idea
poplar grow all over the place here, every few years I have to go out and cut em down so they don't grow into the power lines or get out of control :P
Where do you live? I planted 20 of them, I’m in west KY. My 3 year growth is not even half of yours. I baby the crap out of them too, and use fertilizer spikes.
I needed some trees to help stop erosion where a drainage pond had been filled in. This area is about 1/2 an acre. I ordered 8 of these trees. There are now 3 years old. The largest is bigger than the tree in this Video was at 3 years.the second largest is about 1/2 that size. The other 6 haven't grown at all.....they leaf out every spring but only grow about 6 inches and then stop. So in conclusion it is hit or miss with this particular company. Do some research.....there are some other varieties of hybrid poplar out there that might give more consistent results.
Hey brantley gilbert We need another update
Can you do another update?
Hey Brian, does it have shadow roots? How far do I plant away from my house?
u shouldn't place next to house
im no expert but typically roots are 1.5 times canopy size. So check how big the tree can get and plan accordingly
*Looks as though these hybrid poplars are quite popular.*
I would love to trade this tree for my crappy Sweetgum tree!
Sweet gums are awesome. They provide lots of shade, and that fall color is unmatched. They also typically have a much longer lifespan than the hybrid poplar, not to mention their slower growth allows solid trunk development and an organized root system.
Not sure if mine is a hybrid. Just found it growing in the weirdest place...near my foundation, right under a north facing window, under my hydrangea. Plant app said its poplar and its certainly growing fast enough for me to believe it. I planted it in the back corner of my property (to block out the ugly sterile light of the led spotlight ppl up there keep have blaring 24/7). My only fear is if it grows to be 100feet and wind makes it fall, what kind if trouble, lawsuits or expenses could I get into? What if it gets so wide that the canopy crosses the alley and brushes against the electric lines? Oh well. I need something there and it's free and better than the tree of "heaven" coming up everywhere.
yay
@brian ealy SHOW US THE TREE PLZ :)
Thanks for the update! Lmao
Empress tree: I'm the fastest growing tree
Hybrid poplar: isn't that cute
Might not be cute, but will grow in zones too cold for Empress.
I'm having issues with my leaves turning yellow and black
need another update
What part of the country are you in?
Lets see all the others trees you planted bro
Can we get another update lol
Holy cow
Need another update my dude
Wow
We need an update video brother. It's been 4 years. 😊
th-cam.com/video/fJbHdYpEJbs/w-d-xo.html … There you go. 🍺
Hey bro. I know your videos in kinda old. But do u know if them trees will do good in the winter. I live in the mountains in New Mexico and we get quite a bit of snow.
Yeah... they do fine here. We have had winters below zero for over a month. I am in Ohio, not too far down from Michigan and Canada. These things are still growing out of control. Thanks, take care.
@@BrianEaly thank u for the fast reply. And info. God bless
were in new mexico (farmington area) and they grow great here. its mainly all salix and populus along the riverways already so they fit right in here
they are deciduous meaning in winter they lose their leaves, they come back in spring
Dang
Wheres the update
Can I get a update?
Order more? You have a host tree! Just cut off a branch and stick it in the ground and it will grow into a new tree!
Cute 🐐🐐🐐🐐 goats

Olive tree for shade.
He has to cut it down its so big. Insane?
If you let lemon or apples grow without ever topping them thell get 20 feet in 2 or 3 years.
My trees are being overrun by the canadian common toad.
Help
sorry I called the tree trashy in your other video
That tree seems a little shady...
It's still a poplar hit though.
Nyuck nyuck, woob woob, wise guys aye?
I would not buy from company. Will not return emails, will not honor replacement because they say I needed a colored piece of paper from order.... which was not in the order so impossible to provide. Have been calling for 2 weeks 20+ times a day
Nice dislike ratio
There's no spread
that's cuz he never pruned/cut them, u gotta cut them back 1st year
They are weeds and will wreck your garage
