CAROLINA POPLAR—1 year, 4 to 5 feet . 
Note—W e know of no tree that is so well adapted for making a 
quick screen. It is nothing unusual for a Carolina Poplar to 
grow ten feet in a single season. They should be planted about 
18 inches apart and then cut to about a foot from the ground. 
Every year or two after they should be cut back almost as far. 
In a month they will regain their old height.
