Beautiful tress - great in groups. Spreads very easily and grows fast. Green leaves that turn golden in fall. Wonderful in the wind. One note of warning is that they seem to be pretty susceptible to bugs/diseases.

This is a very fast growing tree. Can be considered invasive as it suckers, but the suckers are easily removed with a quick tug. If you have room to let it go, you will have a nice grove of trees in a few years. Especially good on hillsides.The leaves shimmer in the slightest breeze which looks pretty and sounds wonderful. Has golden fall color. The pale grey bark is attractive in winter. Withstands almost any soil moisture level. One word of warning; keep this and all poplars away form water pipes, their roots will invade them. This tree is fairly short lived.
