Bred by Jeffries Nurseries, the Skyfest is a fast growing, tall cottonwood with excellent disease resistance and adaptability to many kinds of soil. In the fall, its leaves turn a golden yellow.
This species has an aggressive root system, making it unsuitable for planting close to buildings but very drought resistant and an excellent choice for shelterbelts.
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.
