There was an outfit called "the poplar tree company" of Lower Lulham,
Madley, Hereford, HR 2 9JJ tel 01981 XXXXXX. Who dispensed wisdom of
growing and marketing poplar and had all manner of bright ideas as to
how to
use the stuff, might be worth a try.

leave
TVBC shortly -who knows where I might pop up next!

We have been asked to remove a massive grey poplar from a
constricted
waterside site. The tree has a straight clear stem of 20m to a crown
which
has had major failure. The tree has a DBH of 1.3m. and the butt is
sound.
To
remove it from site will involve destroying the integrity of the
tree as a
piece of timber. The client doe'nt want a nature stump, play seats
for
kids
in the park or any of the usual things we might try to sell him.
Has anybody any ideas of uses for planked poplar and if tannelising
will
give
it any added value.
Our desperate search for a solution has reached as far as 'hollow it
out,
turn it into a canoe and we can float it down the river'
...but...foiled
again... the river is only two foot deep.
