A fast-growing screening plant, the Lombardy Poplar will stand any amount of hard pruning. A hardy tree with strong wind-resistance, it grows well in exposed areas if cut back regularly. It grows large, vigorous, narrowly columnas with bright green ovate leaves and crimson male catkins before the leaves open in early spring. This is perfect for a tall, dense hedging that will thriuve in full sun. Characteristics Foliage Colour: Green Approx.
