Field production of rooted Poplar cuttings for prairie plantings


The Prairie Farm Rehabilitation (PFRA) Tree Nursery at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, produces 300,000 rooted poplar cuttings annually for farmstead shelterbelt plantings in the Canadian prairie provinces. Hardwood cuttings collected from stooling beds are planted during the last two weeks in May with a tractor-drawn mechanical planter capable of planting 80,000 cuttings per day. Four months after planting, rooted cuttings are mechanically harvested for shipping to prairie farmers the following spring.
