I have been informed by a number of people that Poplar is almost incombustable (was contacted by one chap wanting poplar for cladding for a traction engine as it won't ignite until it reaches 220 degrees).

 

Might be better to save for milling - very durable and useful as a cladding timber?

Burns well once dry.

We are taking down 2 black pops and 2 white pops. All are large mature trees but not too sure what the quantity in weight would be.

If that was true, they wouldn't use it to make matches

Like Huk says Pop burns ok, in fact it goes like a good un when it’s dry. Don’t know about durable either. Venturia has been killing pops (betulifolia) around Manchester for a decade or so now and they go pretty rotten pretty quick.

 

Chrisb, I can give you a couple of local contacts for tipping chip if you need them.
