Abstract
This manual is intended for growers who are interested in the production of hybrid poplar trees (genus Populus) on short coppice rotations as feedstock for biorefineries. Although there are other methods for growing and harvesting hybrid poplar trees for other product markets, this manual is intended to specifically describe the feedstock production portion of the supply chain for biofuel and bio-based product industries. When grown as a coppice, hybrid poplar trees produce a consistent and readily available biomass feedstock for bio-based industries. Using the methods described in this manual, poplar growers can produce a reliable, high-quality, renewable feedstock with uniform chemical properties for ease of conversion that is free of dirt and debris and that can be delivered to the biorefinery at a consistent price.
