Re: Cottonwood tree. cottonwoods are commonly refered to as poplar in us. the largest tree ive ever removed was a cottonwood. it was almost 140 feet tall and draiped over three homes and a web of utility lines. the wood is garbage and so is the log. people who make maple sugar like it because it burns hot and fast but not for very long. most of the time the wood becomes fill. the tree in the picture under my name is one. |
