white poplar · Populus alba
Also known as: abbey; abele; Dutch beech; silver-leaved poplar; white asp
White poplar is a robust and adaptable tree, often found in a variety of climates and soil types, suggesting a straightforward care routine. Special care points include tolerance for pruning, which is beneficial for maintaining shape and health, and a preference for full sun exposure to optimize growth. Another consideration is the tree's vigorous root system which can disrupt pavements or buildings if planted too close.
