Abstract
Planting and cultural treatments developed for cottonwood (Populus deltoides) by research and private industry have succeeded on thousands of acres in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. From thousands of progeny of trees in the region,14 cottonwood clones for commercial production were chosen by researchers at the Southern Hardwoods Laboratory through nursery and field tests.
