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

Black Poplar plants are only delivered bareroot, during winter (Nov-March).

All of our young trees and shrubs are measured by their height in centimetres above the ground (the roots aren't measured).

General description of Populus nigra Betulifolia plants:
Sometimes called the Manchester, Midland or Atlantic Black Poplar, it is a deciduous, native tree with a thick trunk and branches that are covered in bristly, densely packed twigs. Some of the lower branches arch downwards, which helps form a rounded head although many trees acquire a much bushier shape that has a charm all of its own.
Older trees develop thick, gnarled trunks that often produce large burrs, which are a mass of twisted wood fibres that sticks out from the side of the tree. Burrs are generally quite rare and are are prized by craftspeople who work with wood, especially sculptors, because the swirling lines of the grain can be used to create unique and striking effects.
