Cutting poplars success and failure

Two years ago, four, quite young, poplars were cut and because they are local I have had a chance to see what progress they have made since then. Today, two have died despite one years re-growth, one is partially re-growing and only one has gone on to produce good second year growth all round the cut stems. If we want to keep trees alive after they have been cut then we do need to be more thoughtful than this.
