Buy the Columnar Swedish Aspen
Price: 27.95
The Columnar Swedish Aspen,
Populus tremula 'Erecta', is native to the forests
of Sweden. This slender tree is great for smaller
spaces, screens and along drives. It is probably the
narrowest of the columnar trees.
The dark green leaves have a
lighter silvery-green underside providing both visual
interest and a soothing sound in the breeze and tremble
with the faintest whisper of wind, creating the same
pleasant rustling sounds as the leaves of Quaking Aspen.
It is well adapted to very cold
climates, but needs adequate moisture. This tree is an
excellent substitute for a Lombardy Poplar in cooler
climates. It is best suited for small yards, as a screen
or a vertical accent. It has none invasive root systems
and cottonless.
The fall color can range from
orange to red. This aspen is an excellent tree for
lining driveways, fence-lines, shelterbelts or group
plantings. Somewhat adapted for street and boulevard
planting, the Columnar Swedish Aspen will provide both
visual interest and a soothing sound to the landscape.
