About to order some hybrid poplar (P. x euramericana, which is a hybrid of Eastern cottonwood P. deltoides & European black poplar P. nigra) tubestock.  I have read a few things about Poplar canker, is this a serious problem in the US though or overhyped?  

And does anyone know if coppiced poplars will live longer than the ~ 40-50 years I've seen mentioned?

the poplar here in East Tennessee grow straight and tall and the ones ive seen seem very healthy. its very popular for sawmill lumber
 
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work - Edison. Tiny ad:
It's like being on a deserted island - only with gardens and natural buildings in Montana
