Poplars often line avenues and are also often used in row plantings. This is mainly due to their rapid growth. What else counts among the growth characteristics of the swinging deciduous trees, you can read in the following.
Poplars grow up to one meter per year
turbo growth
Poplars are among the fastest growing deciduous trees in our latitudes. Depending on the species, they can shoot up to one meter per year. This makes them popular candidates for natural boundaries - be it on roadsides to form avenues or for shading, privacy and wind protection property boundaries.
Lots of flexibility
This rapid growth in height also gives poplars their elastic, swinging appearance, which is emphasized by the high crowns and long-stemmed leaves. The wood is also characterized by a resilient flexibility, which is why poplars are also cultivated economically in short-rotation plantations.
Middle age
With a final height of between 15 and 45 meters - depending on the species - poplars reach an average age of 150 to 300 years for native deciduous trees.
