Plant details
The hybrid black poplar, as this is sometimes known, is a large vigorous tree, grown both as a specimen, especially as a street tree, and also for screening large areas since it can withstand pruning and pollarding to limit its size. The golden poplar, 'Aurea', has denser growth and a more rounded shape, with bright golden yellow foliage on red stalks emerging late to make a fine display by early to mid-June, long after the conspicuous catkins have disintegrated. The autumn display is equally vivid. This was formerly P. x euramericana 'Aurea'. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
