Okanese Poplar vs Eastern Cottonwood
Populus deltoides
Populus x Okanese
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
This fast and tall growing tree has an open, spreading crown and is more suited to waterside planting than other aspens and poplars.
Commonly found in floodplains, stream valleys and lake shores, this tree quickly fills in reclamation areas.
In order to reproduce and grow effectively, Eastern Cottonwood relies on the natural flooding cycle to ensure they are not out-competed by weeds and other plants.
Okanese Poplar is an excellent shelterbelt tree. It's one of the hardiest and fastest growing trees you can plant on the prairies. This hybrid poplar is disease resistant, drought and cold tolerant, produces no fuzz, and requires little maintenance. Okanese poplar also makes for a good privacy screen on larger properties.
