Tree Caring and Planting Information

Hybrid Poplar Tree

Hybrid Poplar in fall

 

A fast growing tree with small leaves that blow in the slightest of breezes.  The bark on this interesting tree is anywhere from greenish to white, depending on growing conditions.  Excellent when used as a tree privacy fence or a border between properties.  Tolerant of almost any soil condition, Poplars prefer full sun. Prune in late summer. Mulch to keep moist and cool. This deciduous tree can reach a height of 30 ft and is hardy between zones 3-7.

Bare-root trees will arrive to you in a plastic tube via the United States Priority Mail or UPS. The roots will be wrapped in damp shredded paper to insure freshness. The tops of some trees have been intentionally cut back to encourage branching and to help the tree survive the transplant. All bare-root trees will need planted as quickly as possible. Even if it is still cold outside, plant your tree shortly after it arrives and water thoroughly and frequently. Dig a hole approximately twice the size of the tree's root. Fill the bottom half of the hole with topsoil and plant the tree in the top half with the base of the tree at the soil line or just below. Mulch your tree with 2" of shredded hardwood bark to insulate the roots and prevent water from evaporating around the tree. Your newly transplanted tree will need a lot of care the first year. It is not uncommon for a newly planted tree to die back a little or even loose its first set of leaves the first year. Do not fertilize your tree the first year, but do give it plenty of water. Once your tree is established (after the first year), it will require little care.
