Superior hybrid poplar tree growth time
Hybrid trees are the best variety of any tree; they grow faster, healthier and need less care in comparison to ordinary varieties. 110 species is the hybrid variety of poplar tree that grows faster only in 3.5 years to 4 years. Yes, indeed, this hybrid variety’s growth rate is very fast in comparison to ordinary popular trees like g48, 86.
The hybrid variety came into existence in the last 4-5 years and people are still not aware of these varieties. I want to clear one myth with my viewers. While meeting with farmers I often ask them which variety you are growing on your farm. Most of them said they are growing a popular plant of the Bimco company. Bimco is just a company, not a variety, it is a company similar to manvsgreen which sells plants in bulk.
They are not aware of which variety they are growing. They are saying the name of the company which is very disappointing. They often get trapped and purchase older varieties like 86, g48 etc which take more time to grow, almost 5 to 7 years. Undoubtedly 110 is the best quality of poplar tree in India.
Hybrid poplar growth rate
The hybrid poplar growth rate is exponential. It grows very fast after plantation and gets ready for harvesting only in 3.5 years to 4 years. In 3.5 to 4 years it reaches the height of 65 to 80 feet tall with 2.5 to 3 feet diameter (30 to 36 inch).
After planting a 6 to 8 feet taller plant in the farm it grows 16 – 20 feet after 1st year. It means the tree grows up to 26 to 30 feet taller after the 1st year of planting. Next year (2nd year from plantation) it grows almost 20 to 22 feet tall and contains a total height of 46 to 50 and after 1.5 years it grows up to 25 feet to 30 feet. Thus it grows 65 to 75 feet taller in the 3.5 years to 4 years it may grow sometimes 80 feet tall. It means after 3.5 to 4 years the tree grows up to 65 to 80 feet tall.
