Sundancer Poplar

Cypress Oak is an upright, columnar tree that is well suited as a privacy screen or for lining paths and driveways. The upright branch angle causes it to have a narrower spread which makes it suitable for areas with limited space. It has been described as having an elegant, formal look, growing into an upright oval shape with a short trunk. Compared to other oaks it has a much faster growth rate, especially when young.

Cypress Oak is an ancient oak species of England. Traditionally druids respect the oldest oak trees, considering them to be oracles.

Note: Most Oak species can be considered toxic for many animals.

The Sundancer Poplar is a fast-growing, columnar hybrid that is resistant to Bronze Leaf Disease. Developed at the Agroforestry Centre in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, this cold hardy tree is well-suited to the Canadian prairies and northern regions.

Adaptable to various soil conditions and drought-tolerant once established, the Sundancer Poplar is an excellent choice for lining properties and roads or creating an attractive hedge.
