Species: Poplar
Native: Native to UK
Position: Full sun
Habit: Grows in an upright, naturally slim, columnar form.
Hardiness: H6 - Fully hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15°C).
Soil Type: Adapts to all soil types, including very wet areas. Prefers well-drained, loamy soil.
Growth Rate: Fast growing, expect 40-60cm per year.
Pest & Disease: Good resistance. Leaves may be eaten by leaf beetles or caterpillars. May be affected by bacterial canker, leaf spot, or rust.

Planting Time: Plant bare roots from October to March.
Soil Preparation: Tolerates most conditions, but for best results in heavy or sandy soil, mix in perlite or horticultural grit to improve drainage.
Watering: Water well when newly planted and during dry spells for the first year.
Feeding: Not required; this is a low-maintenance plant that gets nutrients from the soil.
Pruning: Prune in late summer to avoid bleeding from the cuts. Established plants require little pruning other than removing suckers in autumn or winter if needed.
