Variant

A slender, fast growing tree with a distinctive columnar shape, perfect for adding vertical interest to gardens where space is limited. The glossy, heart shaped leaves release a sweet, resinous fragrance when young, filling the air with their fresh balsam scent each spring. Unlike broader spreading poplars, this narrow form grows upwards with minimal side branching, making it ideal as a natural screen or windbreak in urban and rural settings. The foliage turns a bright golden yellow in autumn before falling, while the smooth grey bark provides subtle winter texture. Exceptionally hardy and tolerant of wet soils, it thrives in challenging conditions where its rapid growth and elegant form create instant impact in new landscapes.
