White Poplar Tree | Populus alba Reviews

A fast growing, wide-spreading deciduous tree with attractive lobed leaves up to 12cm long The foliage is glossy dark green on top and fluffy white underneath - this creates a lovely shimmering effect when the wind blows Ornamental bark is very smooth and bright white when young, becoming darker and more furrowed as it matures Both male and female trees develop catkins in early spring. In female trees, the catkins are followed by capsules which split to release clouds of feathery seeds Grow as a feature tree in a lawn or in groups as a windbreak Grows up to 24m tall but can be pruned to fit any garden Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming "leggy", and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
