Tower Poplar vs Eastern Cottonwood
Populus deltoides
Populus x canescens Tower
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
SOLD OUT
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.
Tower Poplar is a fast growing, tall columnar tree that closely resembles the Swedish aspen. It produces no fluff, requires minimal maintenance and no pruning. It can tolerate drought and thrives in poor soils. Tower Poplar is most commonly planted in shelterbelts or to line driveways and property lines as a privacy hedge.
A COPF royalty for $0.10/tree is included in our pricing.
