Description
Populus ‘Crows Nest’, commonly known as the Upright Poplar, is a fast-growing, narrowly columnar deciduous tree that offers both practicality and visual appeal. With large green leaves that turn a brilliant yellow in autumn, it brings seasonal colour while maintaining a tidy vertical form.
Thanks to its slim profile, ‘Crows Nest’ is widely used as a shelterbelt or screening tree, especially in areas where space is limited. Additionally, it can be topped to control height, making it a flexible choice for windbreaks or boundary planting. For effective shelter, trees should be planted 3–4 metres apart.
Moreover, this poplar is reasonably drought tolerant, although it performs best in moist, well-drained conditions. It also boasts improved resistance to fungal rust, making it a resilient option for various landscapes. In ideal conditions, it can grow to approximately 10 metres in 10 years and may eventually reach heights of 25 metres or more.
While the Populus genus is widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere—from Europe to China and North America, ‘Crows Nest’ is a unique New Zealand selection, well-suited to local climates and growing conditions.
Whether used for erosion control, shelter, or as a structural element in larger plantings, Populus ‘Crows Nest’ delivers fast results with minimal fuss.
