This is very usual with Poplars. More so than any others IME. The
only solution is to wipe each of the growths with a Roundup solution. It is
quite likely that they have formed individual plants and are no longer
connected to the original. I have the same problem with grafted poplars
and cannot treat them as they are part of the desired trees. P.lasiocarpa
~never available on its own roots.
If just cut off each week they seem to form solid lumps just above soil
level that upset the mower.
Best Wishes Brian.
