White Poplar (Hedging)

The white poplar has rich, deep leaves that have a silvery-white underside. When the wind ruffles these leaves, an interesting effect can be witnessed. It can also be used as a hedging plant, as it is happy to be clipped to the necessary height and width and will quickly create a solid screen for privacy and security. The white poplar is a normal occurrence in the English countryside, where farmers use it as a windbreak to safeguard their crops. Height: 12m (39'). Spread: 8m (26'). Planting distance: 45cm (18). (3 plants per metre for a single line hedge).
