i purchased a small acreage last fall (just under 2 acres) i am wanting to plant a windbreak of pines/spruce but missed out on the availability for the year through the state nursery so i am looking at hybrid willows or hybrid poplar this year just to get something going for the time being and establish the northern border due to not having a fence and crop field behind me.
my plan was to let the hybrids grow for a few years and then cutting them down once the pine/spruce get established and growing. my property is only 200 ft wide so i wouldnt be planting that many and using the rest as a screen on a different hunting property
i know there are pros and cons to hybrid trees but im looking for real life experience with either tree. i also cant seem to find a definite answer on if they are invasive or not.
