Discover the enchanting Populus × canescens, commonly known as Grey Poplar, a majestic and vigorous deciduous tree that stands as a testament to nature's wonder. A natural hybrid between White Poplar (P. alba) and Common Aspen (P. tremula), this captivating tree showcases its hybrid vigor by reaching impressive heights of up to 130 feet. Adorned with elegant, triangular-ovate leaves, each measuring 6-12 cm in length, Grey Poplar is an aesthetic marvel. Its leaves boast a dark green hue above and a silvery gray, densely woolly underside, exhibiting a subtle undulation along the margins. In the spring, delight in its display of catkins, with the male catkins turning from grayish to red-purple, while the rare female catkins glow greenish. Thriving in diverse soil conditions and adaptable to sun or partial shade, Grey Poplar is ideal for creating striking solitary displays or dynamic group plantings. Hardy to USDA Zone 4 and native to Europe and Asia Minor, this remarkable tree adds timeless charm to landscapes.
