Hybrid Poplar (Shade Form) Tree
Description
The Hybrid Poplar Tree is the fast-growing way to quick shade.
Tall, oblong-shaped trees sport large, shiny, dark-green leaves that turn golden-yellow in fall. Inconspicuous reddish-purple flowers. No annoying “cotton” like other cottonwood poplars.
The Hybrid Polar grows 5-8 feet per year once established. Plant single trees 30-35' apart for shade. Plant several trees closer, around 6-10' apart in a line for a lush privacy screen or natural windbreak that controls wind and soil erosion year 'round. Avoid planting near structures, pipes, and drains.
This landscape variety is cold-hardy.
