EH Goose, we have a saying around here... cut down a Poplar and 100 show up for the funeral. Elm is almost as bad except Elm only shoots up at the stump, not a 30 foot radius.

Exactly... I need to get better on my tree ID skills, in order to really try to manage our yard better. Our house is only on about an acre, which isn't anywhere near enough to supply our firewood needs, but I'd like to get as much as I can off the land just to keep from having to purchase / scrounge as much... In Europe they do a thing called coppicing which involves encouraging the controlled regrowth of some of the more useful species, but I haven't really seen much in detail on how to do it...
