GREENING'S FRUIT GROWERS' GUIDE. 11. CAROLINA POPLAR. TWO YEAR. A RUBBER NECK is required to stand beforehand look up at the tops of our two-year-old Carolina Poplar. You can almost see them grow. up the vines at least three times during- the season. Heading- in the overhanging branches on bearing- vines to ripen the wood and fruit, should be done with a sickle or sharp corncutter about August 15th. Place the posts for wire trellises 24 feet apart. Brace the end post securely. Fasten the wire with staples driven three-fourths the way in. Posts should be at least 8 feet long and set 2]/z feet into the ground. Fasten the first wire 24 inches, the second 44 inches and the third 64 inches from the ground. Use No. 11 wire.
