Populus tremuloides

Bloom Color: Yellow. Main Bloom Time: Early spring, Late spring, Mid spring. Form: Oval.

Populus tremuloides is a deciduous Tree growing to 20 m by 10 m at a fast rate.
It is hardy to zone 1. It is in flower in April, and the seeds ripen from May to June. The species is dioecious . and is pollinated by Wind. The plant is not self-fertile.
Suitable for: light , medium and heavy soils and prefers well-drained soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral and basic soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It prefers dry or moist soil and can tolerate drought.

Landscape Uses:Massing, Specimen. An easily grown plant, it does well in a heavy cold damp soil. Prefers a deep rich well-drained circumneutral soil, growing best in the south and east of Britain. Growth is much less on wet soils, on poor acid soils and on thin dry soils. This species is often found on dry soils in its native habitat and could possibly succeed on dry soils in cultivation. Unlike most members of the genus, this species is drought tolerant once it is established. It is fairly wind tolerant, though it does not do well in exposed upland sites. It dislikes shade and is intolerant of root or branch competition. A fast-growing species that is quite short-lived, though occasional specimens live to almost 200 years. Poplars have very extensive and aggressive root systems that can invade and damage drainage systems. Especially when grown on clay soils, they should not be planted within 12 metres of buildings since the root system can damage the building's foundations by drying out the soil. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus. Special Features:
North American native, Inconspicuous flowers or blooms.
