POPLAR. Poplars are not desirable for street planting. Their wood is brittle and easily broken by ordinary windstorms, and their roots run near the surface and are likely to interfere with pavements, as shown in figure 28, while those of some varieties are especially liable to make trouble in sewers by filling them with a mass of fibrous roots if access is once gained. Vigorous root growth is encouraged by the moisture from a leak, and the roots ultimately find their way inside. The southern cottonwood,^ Carolina poplar, and the northern Cottonwood ^ are so similar in their adaptability for street-planting purposes that they will be discussed together. They are easily propagated, easily transplanted, are quick growing, and where they ^Schinus molle L. 2 Populus deltoides Marsh.
