Black Poplar / Populus Nigra Italica
£12.00Price
Perhaps the rarest native tree in Britain
I'm a Black Poplar and one of the rarest native trees in Britain. I grow to a height of 30 metres and can live for 200 years. I'm very flexible and was historically used to make cart wheels or thatch but now am more useful for artificial limbs and wine cases. I love the sunshine and have adapted to survive hot dry summers.My flowers are a good source of nectar for bees and my leaves have a faint scent of balsam. Grow me and you'll not be disappointed as I reach tall and straight for the sky.
