Too stinking long! We have two VERY old poplars in our yard 30+ yrs old. The trees themselves are beautiful, but as one state calls them "noxious weed" for a reason! When you trim them or any damage to the tree occors, the tree shoots out dozens if not hundreds of saplings from one end of the property past your neighbors. Unless you are attempting to grow the tree's for firewood for the next 100 years, I would suggest finding a way to shorten the life of your poplar!

Near Jasper, AL, in the Sipsey Wilderness area, there is a poplar which, according to the local newspaper, measures 10 ft. in diameter at the base and is estimated to be 150 yrs. old.
