Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Populus coppice? The complex I live in just cut down an ugly, messy Populus. They left a 1' stump which I suspect will grow back with hundreds of suckers.

Yeah, they can be tough! A couple of years ago I carried a hardwood cutting from P. usbekistanica 'Afghanica' (no, I didn't check the spelling!) around Turkey for a whole week, loose and dry in my luggage, and it rooted successfully when I got it home! I just moved it out of the nursery this spring into its permanent location.

It was cut down by "professionals" but I guess they failed to advise the complex of the suckers that follow felling. I've already offered my 6' containerized Davidia involucrata as a free replacement. They hummed & hawed - "It's not native" one lady said in the office.

Once the tree company cut the tree down, they had their money. They probably didn't care about the suckers.
