Thank you, Binkybuff. There's not much on the internet though about Laurel Poplar (even with it's Latin name)

R.C. Hosie. I just came across the title of the book not 5 minutes ago
. Our library only has French books though. I'll see if I can find a copy somewhere.

You can just call them your mystery trees Most trees transplant best in the cooler weather when the ground has more moisture. From about May onwards if you try you'll need to do a lot of watering for most trees. Poplars are pretty hardy though, very hard to kill when they're growing somewhere you don't want them. Usually they keep popping up all over the place from the roots and little shoots will sprout up from cut stumps too. |
I just may plant them where I was thinking of. Only problem now is I'm worrying about the roots of the one growing right next to the house
