Poplar tree

Poplar trees are a tree that naturally occurs in boreal and temperate forests. Poplar trees can also be grown by the player in those biomes, but can't be sown in hydroponics. A mature poplar tree yields 27 wood.

Analysis

Poplar trees are the best common trees to tree-farm for wood in the game, owing to its superior yield per day compared to all other player-growable trees. The only "tree" that has a superior yield per day compared to poplar when growing in gravel or soil is the saguaro cactus - but that plant is exclusive to the wilds, and the poplar tree is still better in rich soil.

Growing

Poplar trees have a base growing time of 15.05 days, need a minimum soil fertility of 70%, and have a fertility sensitivity rating of 50%. The following table details how long it takes for poplar trees to grow in each growable ground type, factoring in the plant resting time and being in ideal growing conditions:

Ground Type	Gravel	Soil	Rich Soil	Hydroponics
Fertility (%)	70	100	140	280
Real Grow Time (days)^[1]	32.68	27.78	23.15	N/A
Base Yield/day^[2]	0.83	0.97	1.17	N/A

↑ Actual days to grow, taking into account rest time.
↑ Per plant, assuming Crop Yield Multiplier of 1.0.
Note that Difficulty settings change the Crop Yield Multiplier.

Food Production

Poplar trees don't yield any human-edible products

Economy

The poplar tree's raw product is wood, which has a market value of 1.4 silver. The refined product with the largest profit margin is a grand sculpture, having a 51.25%^[1] profit margin. The following table details silver per day, per plant. It only factors in the 50% selling markdown; the market value of the products; and the yield per day:

Ground Type	Gravel	Soil	Rich Soil	Hydroponics
Raw	0.69	0.81	0.97	-
Refined	1.04	1.22	1.47	-
