6 Feb 2007 3:45pm GMT Black poplar? *Native* Black Poplar? You might want to check that, because they're very rare. Britain's most rare native timber tree, in fact. Also, Vin Garbutt wrote a song about them. Take a look at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/today/reports/archive/science_nature/poplar.shtml

6 Feb 2007 3:45pm GMT Great stuff. ---Whilst Poplar is a poor firewood, its timber is both light and tough and so used for a variety of purposes.--- It would be a nice extra if you could possibly name some of the uses it has? thanks

6 Feb 2007 3:45pm GMT Ah, but: bq. This means that almost all the remaining native Black Poplars are of a considerable age and size. This is of considerable age and size, and every other aspect seems to match so I'm 90% confident of this ID. Thanks for the link though.
