Is there a tree called poplar 35

[roiphil]

Have been looking for ages oneline and i have found out that their are approx 35 species of poplar, but cant find one called poplar 35, reason asking my goats escaped  and munched some trees    and the owner said they were called poplar 35, and i need to replace with the same tree if possible

And how high would a 2 year old poplar be approx

[ideasguy]

Poplar is the common name for the Genus Populus.
Ive looked up the Master Database - no Populus 35 listed.
I then clicked the RHS button.
Editing, and changing the search to Populus (the whole Genus) gives this link:
http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantfinder2.asp?crit=Populus&Genus=Populus
No entry for 35.

I thought perhaps it was a Collector number. It could be of course.

If you are still on speaking terms with the owner after the goats went on their spree  why not ask where he bought them?

RE:

About a nice height for a goat to munch 

Heres a wee challenge for you, and other members of course.

Open the Master Database using IG, IG Pro, Flower Genie or Bonsai Genie.
Use GA004
Start typing Populus in the Genus field
When you get to pop, only Populus is left in the selection list
Click Populus
All plants in the Genus appear.
As example, double click on Populus × canescens
Screen GA100S36 appears (IG, IG Pro)
Click the RHS button
The RHS page shows there are 6 Suppliers.
Click on Suppliers
Visit the supplier websites.
You should be able to see what they have to offer, height as supplied etc.
e.g. For Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland there is one supplier:
Future Forests
IFFs
Bantry, Rep. of Ireland
Its a long time since I was down in the SW of Ireland, but it sure is a lovely part of the country. I travelled down to Dingle (a couple of bays along the coast in Co Kerry) to meet up with a bunch of the lads I played Irish music with, for a session or two.
How far is Bantry from you?

   now we are gonna get all the goat eating trees jokes 

Dingle is probably about an 1 and half hours from us as its not far from tralee whick takes us about 45 mins

[ideasguy]

I thought you were fairly close.
Now youve mentioned that, I think I was at the Rose of Tralee festival a long time ago!

No motorways in those parts, so its a nice unspoilt view of the country for travellers.
How far are you from Bantry?

Wonders, it works George! I can get a populus x canescens by mail order from Shropshire but I don't have any space to plant it

A lovely place, George. We went several times when the boys were young. Here is a shot I took of the High Street in 1961!



And here is Anthea with two of the boys and a friend at the harbour, also in 1961



Oh, and by the way, sorry about the goats Phil

Well, youve completed the challenge, so thats what counts Eric

Lovely photos Eric, youve captured the lifestyle in the early 60's perfectly.
Looks like market day! As you can see, in those days people had time to stop and have a chat in the street! Mind you they were probably doing bit of dealing (and in those days the term was respectable )
Thats a lovely one of Anthea and the boys. I'm sure they will treasure that. Is the boy who plays in the orchestra in the photo?

[Eric Hardy]

Thanks George. No, Tom was not born untill 1962. He is called Thomas Brandon Hardy. I wonder why?

I wonder if thats the old farmer in the village by us with his horse and cart   
The goats are now up the other place fenced off

[ideasguy]

I had a look to see if you were in the pic trying to sell (offload?) those goats Phil 

[roiphil]

   a little bit before my time i think

sorry for delay but according to aa route planner 94 miles, 2 hrs 38 mins if you keep to the speed limits

There are many poems written in Chinese about Poplar trees
It was planted along both side of  the mainroad in China.
I was curious during my several trips to the provinces.
But whether it is Poplar 35 I do not know.
Was told that the trees are grown for 5 years and
harvested for paper and chopsticks (our utensils for picking up food).

Beautiful pictures and  I like the goats  talks to go with it,
so idlyllic.  Reminds me of a Thomas Hardy book I have read,
I think was  Far from the Madding crowd 

[3fren]

Just check the chinese websites, seems that there are about 100 species,
50 are planted in China, the leaves are good animal feeds.

Will try to translate more and post here.
