I thought Aspen too for the same reasons, but the bark is wrong and the leaves are wrong. It is white poplar for sure, the bark is textbook white poplar. Yes, they "clone" through the root system; and, yes, they are related to aspen.

Aspen trees turn yellow in the fall. White poplar leaves are white and silver just like landowner described.

Our Poplar trees up North start out very hard to distinguish from the birch trees until about 20 years old. Then they get rough bark like in your pictures. We’ve got some that were over 100’ tall that were knocked over in a huge storm. Never seen one start over at the roots though, but the Birch do quite often!

Yep dey be good, even better with less orders to fill. Just wish they were allowed to send Stihl chain to me. Factory says not. They price it same as Oregon reels which is about $2 a foot less expensive than Stihl from least expensive Stihl dealer local.

He showed up bout 7:00 and goes from roof to roof just hanging out.. he’s driving George nuts...

 

[Hedgerow]

Still sitting on the shop..

I think he’s lost.. Is it a carrier pigeon.?

Lol

 

[Semotony]

How will you get close enough to see if the message is actually for you?

 

[Hedgerow]

George wants me to shoot it off the roof so he can eat it...

That may be a bit drastic! Accurate pellet gun to avoid the legs where the capsule with message is usually attached IIRC lol

Good morning crew, very pleasant out. Finnish coffee and use some of this comfort to work time only bald cypress, planted over last few years, to survive. It's in a spring that runs thru iron ore down there.

Noticed my truck shaking the other day with my trailer in tow. Determined it was my trailer. Some of the bolts looked worn so I took it to my tire shop; the tire guy took one look and said that tire has separated a bead and is causing the vibration. I could see what he was talking about. He got to looking and I had 3 bad trailer tires.

I asked him what would cause that crap. He said, all trailer tires are made in China and the recommended speed limit is 65mph. RUH ROH!!! Apparently, there are NO high speed trailer tires for people like me, LOL. Almost a $500 bill later and I got new trailer tires and axle repaired.

U R no longer allowed in the show off lane Tom.

I have gone to using radials. 10 ply if you can find them, from pickups. for trailers..

You can then go as fast as you want...
