Assiniboine poplar can handle tough conditions such as: urban pollution, environmental salt, drought, poor soil, and even some standing water.
Greenhouse grown rooted cuttings. True to type and vigorous. Sorted for size and form.
One of the most attractive hybrid poplar varieties and a staff favorite. This poplar seems to do quite well on the southern prairies where some other varieties struggle with tip die-back from excessive drying and harsh weather.
