Homestead mailing list

Thanks for taking the wheel and getting us back on track!
I do have a question:
I've seen mentioned, in various newsletters lately, proposals to begin
planting/using poplar as hardwood for general construction purposes (which 
it's
supposed to become once it's kiln-dried).
I'm curious if 'poplar' would include the hybrid poplars that are advertised 
as
being so fast-growing?
Anybody?
Sandy
