Cuttage of Canadian poplar, Carolina poplar

Populus x canadensis Moench

Cuttage is the primary propagation method for the Canadian poplar, which possesses a high regenerative capacity due to the hybrid's genetic characteristics.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Carolina poplar, where this is mentioned in the description.

For the propagation of the Canadian poplar, woody cuttings harvested from one-year-old shoots during the dormant period are used. The crop is characterized by the presence of preformed root primordia at the stem nodes, which allows for high survival rates without the use of rooting stimulants.

In industrial practice, both short cuttings and long stakes up to one and a half to two meters in length are used, which are planted directly into the soil. The high regenerative capacity of the hybrid, which belongs to the section Aigeiros, ensures predictable survival rates when quality propagation material is used.
