Hedge plants & sapling trees are measured by their height in centimetres above soil level, so their roots or pots aren't measured.

Pot sizes are measured by their volume in litres, except for the smallest size, 9cm / p9 pots, which are roughly half a litre.

Hedging troughs are 1 metre long.

Description

Populus Nigra

Delivered by Mail Order Direct from our Nursery with a Year Guarantee
 

Black Poplar is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree with a distinctive burred trunk.

The number of Black Poplars has been falling steadily for many years; there are approximately 7,000 of them left in Britain, less than 10% of which are female, which are increasingly hybridizing with commercially grown poplar cultivars, creating highly variable offspring.

It is its ability to regrow new trees from broken branches and roots that keeps the species alive in the wild.

We are not able to determine the sex of your trees before delivery, but they are more likely to be male than female.

Prized for its timber, Black Poplar rapidly grows into a rounded and heavy-branched tree.

The Black Poplar grows in all soils except dry chalk with shallow topsoil, and is tolerant of atmospheric pollution. Keep away from drains and foundations, as it has powerful roots. To 25m

Poplars, which are all fast-growing, make excellent screening trees and windbreaks, and they thrive in difficult (heavy and wet) soils where many other trees struggle.
