Description
This cultivar of White Poplar was raised in Holland in the 1950s and is a cross between populus alba and Populus alba Pyramidalis.
When young it starts out quite a narrow, columnar shape but as it matures it forms a broadly pyramidal shape so care should be taken to give it enough space to grow.
Tolerant of wind and and salt it makes for a very useful tree for coastal plantings. Often used as a boundary tree due to its fast growth.
It thrives on most soils and can withstand short periods of water logging but not so well with very dry conditions.
Mature height: 17-22m
Mature spread: 10-15m
