10 Fast Growing Trees - 10 Hybrid Poplar Tree Cuttings - Fast Growing Shade or Privacy Trees - Very Attractive and Good for The Enviornment

These trees came as small sticks. Every one of them is now over 10 feet tall (two years). Excellent for creating a backyard forest in a very short time.

The first shipment I received had no roots! These are sold as BARE ROOT trees.I’ve made hundreds of cutting in the past of hybrid trees so I know what I’m doing. But these are shipped as just small 7-9” cut trees without roots so the time only takes to ship in the package they’re without water and they die. The first batch died and I complained about the shipping and no roots. Got another package and they never grew either. Even upon delivery I immediately placed them in water (like I know to do) and as they state in their paper instructions. But they should at least get the cuttings established with some roots and a wet paper towel for shipping. Nope just some fresh cuttings that die due to no water/no roots in shipping package. 👎

I have five acres with no trees and these were a good option. I picked up four hybrid poplars from Lowe's and planted them which ran me about $30 a piece by growing them from cuttings this gives me more for my money. I look forward to planting them next season .My purchase through CZ grain has exceeded my expectations so far everything that I have ordered has grown and sprouted not a single bum cutting I would highly recommend this company.I ordered 10 hybrid poplars and received 13 all 13 have sprouted. Two of them took a little bit longer but will be put in soil this weekend. 11 are in soil recommended by CZ grain and are thriving.I ordered 10 hybrid Willows all have sprouted and are in the same soil that was recommended by CZ grain.I also ordered two Curly Willow cuttings and received four all four are rooting and leaves are sprouting so far everything is perfect with the purchase, and I am beyond happy. The picture above is one month after receiving the cuttings.Thank you so much CZ grain for fast delivery and viable cuttings.Update: still doing very well. 3rd picture is @ 4 months. 6 transplanted so far in 7 gal grow bags since they were outgrowing thier pots.

This is a package of about 6 inch sticks that you put in water and pray they make roots. IDK

Bought a pack of 12 of these babies a couple of years ago. Two of them reached partial maturity and died, but probably my fault because the rest are all thriving and some are over 20 feet tall.Yes, they are shipped as STICKS. Some reviewers went into a state of abject panic over this. JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. I placed the sticks in a bucket, and added enough to cover about 3" of the bottom of the sticks. Within ten days or so, they started popping roots. I moved them to staging pots until the root balls were well developed, then popped them right into the ground.They are HARDY. We live in North Dakota. Extreme temperature swings, battering wind, punishing snow and ice. These trees have thrived through it all. Small animals do love to eat the soft bark off of juvenile trees, so make sure to surround or wrap them to prevent small animals from eating them up.Simply the easiest, simplest, no-brainer, fast growing shade tree on Amazon.

I purchased several of these and followed instructions correctly. After planting these trees last year, Out of 30÷ trees only 3 are growing about an inch from ground. Extremely disappointed.So much time spent getting them to root, then planting, watering and nothing happened.

After having the cuttings in water for about 4 weeks I planted them in pots, they all had roots and leaves but maybe the half of them survived. I changed the water regularly while in the house and watered them every morning outside. Beside that it was raining a lot so they didn’t dry out. Maybe I have some bugs in the potting soil or the soil wasn’t good enough. But the ones surviving are growing very good.

Received twelve 8" (that's eight INCH) cuttings with instructions. Soak in bucket of water, let roots form, plant in soil. Pretty straighforward :-)I soaked them in water bucket for about 4 days, until all 12 cuttings had sprouted both roots and leaf shoots. Some had already put out 6" of leaf shoots. I prepared ten 10-gallon fabric grow bags with a mix of potting soil, sand, perlite and compost. I pruned off ALL the leaf shoots, leaving only the roots to receive all energy when transplanted to soil. Planted best ten. Took about 5 days before new leaf shoots began to push up, but they pushed up fast!I do have some questions for John at CZ Grain (hope he checks these reviews) - or anyone who has an opinion. All questions are about how to PRUNE these to ensure they grow to single trunk. Most of the cuttings put out several shoots at different heights - I've included some pictures with questions attached. These have been in soil about one month.
