Griffin Poplar is a tall, fast-growing, deciduous tree. One of the oldest prairie hardy varieties developed at the Brooks Research Centre, Griffin Poplar is a great shelterbelt tree. It is adaptable in many soil conditions. Too large for a normal city lot, Griffin Poplar is also ideal for large properties and parks.

Prairie Skyrise Aspen has a compact and columnar branching structure that makes it a great privacy screen for small yards. You'll notice that the old and new growth have contrasting colors of green, giving this tree an attractive and unique appearance.

Prairie Skyrise Aspen is more disease resistant, columnar, and typically leafs out earlier than Swedish Aspen.
