In Response To: Re: Strip: Albus wood strips (riston)

: Today I called the Collins Company and talked to a sales rep. They
: said Pacific Albus is a Hybrid Poplar that is comprised of:

: 1) Populus Tremuloides - Aspen
: 2) Populus Nigra – Black or Italian Poplar
: 3) Populus Trichocarpa – Black Cottonwood
: 4) Populus Maximowiczii – Japanese Poplar

: They said Collins does not use GMO (Genetically modified organism),
: and use natural propagation through cross pollination using the
: different varieties of Hybrid Populus listed above.

Did they tell you anything about its density or how well it bends?
