Description
| Family: | Salicaceae. |
| Landscape value: | A narrow and fast growing poplar with a straight trunk and good apical dominance. Has good potential as a feature tree or for use in avenues where a uniform effect is required. |
| Height: | 20 metres. |
| Width: | 5 metres. |
| Growth rate: | Fast. |
| Habit: | Columnar to narrowly ovate with the lower branches slightly more spreading than those of the Lombardy Poplar. Potentially very large. |
| Foliage: | New leaves emerge diamond shaped, reddish brown on red petioles, before turning to a good mid-green with a triangular shape. Yellow in autumn. |
| Flowers: | Reported to have pendulous catkins, appearing before the leaves in spring. Not observed in Australia at time of publication. |
| Fruit: | Capsules open at maturity (dehiscent capsules). Not observed in Australia at time of publication. |
| Bark: | Light greyish-brown, roughening into flakes as the tree matures. |
| Tolerances: | Performs best in moist soils and in full sun, but is quite tolerant of dryer sites and soils of various pH values. Reported to have brittle wood making it unsuitable for use as a windbreak. |
| Comments: | Propagated onto minimal-suckering rootstock and will generally not produce suckers unless the roots are damaged. Overseas reports claim that this cultivar is unpalatable to possums. May be susceptible to Melampsora medasae (poplar rust) in some districts. A female clone. |
