Eastern cottonwood

Boughs of deciduous trees typically produce adventitious shoots when browsed or cut down. These include species of the genera Populus, Salix, Tilia, and others. In our experience. Eastern cottonwood (P. deltoides) and American basswood (T. americana) give good results in terms of species similarities and differences. 

Leaf size. Measure the sizes of ten leaves. The leaves of Eastern cottonwood are easy to measure, as they are nearly triangular. Measure baseline and height with a small raler. Use formula for the area of a triangle to arrive at the area of the leaf.

The most successful clone developed to date for the upper Midwest is hybrid poplar NM-6 (Nigra X Maximawitzii), and this will be the main cutting. Other fast growing and disease resistant clones such as the eastern cottonwood varieties will also be used. Cuttings will be purchased from nurseries in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota and Oregon. 

Woody energy crops. Short-rotation woody crops are fast-growing hardwood trees harvested within 5-8 yr after planting. These include hybrid poplar, hybrid willow, silver maple, eastern cottonwood, green ash, black walnut, sweetgum, and sycamore.
