[QUOTE="Miles86, post: 4497867, member: 18657"] Here in Maryland- west of the Bay has huge forests of almost pure tulip poplars and many of these trees are really giants. I have one at home I guess is 100 years old and it is still a baby, it grows about 2 feet a year on the branches and the trunk is about 6.5 feet in diameter(at the base swell). The soil here is "sandy loam" which these trees seem to like. I don't like it as firewood, seems to act like burning cardboard, and never really seems to give the heat. I would rather burn virginia or loblolly pine over tulip poplar. Colonial furniture makers used this wood as the backing wood for the veneer of mahogany or other more valuable species. Poplar is easy to work and does not warp and is straight grained. [/QUOTE]
