Populus angustifolia--Narrow Leaf Poplar


Hardiness Zones: 3
Height: 60 ft Spread: 35 ft Form: pyramidal
Type: deciduous tree
Annual Growth Rate: more than 18 inches

Comments: This hardy tree has ascending branches and
prefers moist soils. The bark on young trees is green but
becomes gray with age. In mountainous regions, the tree
can be used at elevations of 8,000 to 10,000 feet. The
narrow leaves do not develop an ornamental fall color.
Suckers could be a maintenance problem. Poplars are
problem-prone plants that require more care than other
trees.
