The pure poplar and its hybrids from the same male parent were firstly compared in biomass quantity and quality.
The double-wall thicknesses of the fiber cells in the hybrid poplars were thicker than that of the pure poplar.
The micromechanics value was largest in Populus deltoides × Populus trichocarpa with the slowest growth rate.
The microfibril angle and hardness in Populus deltoides × Populus maximowiczii were larger than that of Populus deltoids.
