Hybrid Poplar Robusta

NO LONGER SOLD - WE RECOMMEND HYBRID POPLAR SETS INSTEAD

This extremely vigorous hybrid poplar is mainly used for biomass fuel or screening purposes. It has a very straight trunk with an upright leading branch and a narrow canopy. The young leaves in spring have an attractive red-brown colouring. This variety is all male, so they will not make any seeds. You can propagate them from cuttings very easily.
You can also buy the hybrid poplar Gaver.

Poplars are classic shelterbelt trees because they grow so fast and tend to produce suckering stems from their roots, especially if they are pruned at all or grazed by animals.

Browse our variety of large garden trees or view our full range of trees for sale.

Growing Hybrid Poplar Setts

Any moist soil is fine, including on the coast, but dry sites are not suitable. Simply push the sett into the earth so that it is half buried, with the coloured end on top. They will root quickly and within a couple of years, they will grow 2-3 metres per year.
Your trees will reach about 30 metres tall.

Robusta is one of the Populus x euramericana group of hybrids, which are crossed from American Cottonwoods and European Black Poplars. This strain was first bred in France in 1895 from the 'Cordata' Cottonwood and the 'Plantierensis' Black Poplar and is usually refereed to as Populus x canadensis.

Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
