About
Populus tremula _ tremuloides is a hybrid between the European aspen and American trembling aspen producing the characteristic rounded, trembling leaves and rapid growth of both parents. A rewarding tree for a large, open, moist site.
About the genus
Populus, the poplars and aspens, are mostly very fast-growing, large, deciduous trees producing male and female catkins on separate trees before the leaves open in spring. Male catkins are the more ornamental; female trees can be a nuisance from cottony, wind-blown seeds. Excellent trees for large landscapes.
