Poplar Hedging Plants are a wonderful choice for a stand-alone tree, a single species hedge or as part of a native hedge mix. This beautiful and traditional tree is one of the most rare in Britain. It has light green heart shaped leaves which turn buttery yellow in Autumn.
Poplars are very fast growing - up to 6ft per year! Poplar will quickly reach 40-60ft. They are ideal for screening off areas as well as making an effective windbreak.
Poplar is extremely wildlife friendly providing shelter and habitat to birds, insects and small mammals. It can also be used as part of a horse friendly hedge mix.
Simply choose the height of the plants you want to plant now and the number of plants you need.
We recommend 5 plants per metre in a double zig-zag row for a thick hedge, but you can get away with 3-4 per metre in a staggered row if you don't mind waiting an extra year or two to form a thick hedge.
Keep them well watered - especially in the Spring and Summer in the first year of planting. If you are not sure how many plants you need or which varieties suit your garden please just contact or call us and we will be happy to offer friendly advice.
For best results plant with Rootgrow gel - it increases the growth rate by up to 50% and really helps the plants establish.
Many apologies but due to a change in the DEFRA plant health regulations following Brexit we cannot ship plants to Northern Ireland - we are working on this and hope a solution is found soon.
