Bjugstad, Ardell J.1987. Hybrid poplar cultivars for maximizing phytomass production on gold mine tailings in the Black Hills. In: 1986 National Symposium on Mining, Hydrology, Sedimentology, and Reclamation: University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, December 8-11, 1986. Lexington, Ky.: University of Kentucky. p. 263-266.
Twenty-six hybrid poplar clones were planted as cuttings on a gold mine tailings in the Black Hills. Four exhibited very good survival and growth. Other clones had relatively high (exceeding 50 percent) survival but slow growth (below 60 cm) over a 5-year period.
