ELEVEN AND ONE-HALF inches is the measurement on this hybrid poplar
trunk, says Morton Fry, right. Miles Fry and Dr. Miroslaw Czapowskyj, at
had just estimated the height of the nine-year-old tree at 60 feet. It is
of a row of roadside trees Fry set out in 1959 as two-year-old stock.

is no biological competition,
creates good hybrid poplar
growing conditions Once the
trees become established, the
scientist said, they begin to
change the nature of the land
scape Wind-blown soil collects
and mici o-orgamsms begin to
accumulate to do their vital
woik
The Fiys and their visitor
touied the tree plots and ob
served the 53 clones giowing
there Most of these have dis
tinct characteristics which
make them suitable for various
purposes Some, for instance*
grow tall very rapidly Others
throw many blanches, making
them suitable for shade treesl
Still others feature decorative
leaves But one characteristic
of all the hybrid poplars is
their fast growth
Fry reported that one-year
old trees would average 6-7
feet tall; two-year olds 14-18
feet; and by three years the
average hybrid poplar in good
soil might be 20-feet tall, or
more. The group saw a road
side row of the trees which
were planted in 1959 as two
year-old trees They now tower
50 60 feet into the air and
measuie 10-12 inches in di
ameter
Trees For Farmers
Most of the Fry trees are
sold to farmers, Miles said.
adding that garden centers are
also demanding an increasing
number of the hybrids for sale
•to home owners Farmers have
found these trees valuable as
windbreaks, woodlot, pulpwood,
and foi lining farm lanes Fry
felt the possibilities for pulp
wood production with hybrid
poplars in the coming yeans
were tremendous
As an added enterprise the
Frys are also producing crown
vetch for sale They started 1
this experimentally three yeans
ago and expect this fall to sell
50,000-60,000 plant s These
make excellent ground cover
for banks and erosion ditches.
Fry said, and, as plants, will
adapt well on spoil banks
Mrs. Fiy can attest to the
interest—both in the form of
orders and inqunies—that has
been expressed by people all
over the country She handles
all the correspondence and
billing, and describes it as
nearly a full-time job. As. an
example, one day’s mail a while
back contained 300 communi-,
cations to be answered! “That
took a few days to get done,’''
she said.
