About Populus x P euramericana 'Veronese'

Populus x euramericana 'Veronese', known as Veronese Poplar, is a fast-growing deciduous tree admired for its tall, stately, pyramidal form and glossy deep green foliage. Growing 20–30 meters high with a broad 10–15 meter spread, it creates an elegant vertical presence perfect for parks, streetscapes, and large gardens.

They look excellent when used as shade trees, windbreaks, or screening elements, offering rapid growth and strong structure. The foliage turns a vibrant yellow in autumn, adding seasonal interest, while the straight, upright branches form a commanding crown.

This poplar adapts well to various soil types and urban environments. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and becomes moderately drought-tolerant once established. Maintenance is low to moderate, requiring occasional care and regular watering during early growth stages.

Planting, Spacing & Care

Site Selection: Choose a well-draining location with sufficient space for the tree's mature size.

Planting Hole: Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and two to three times wider. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the ground surface.

Backfill: Replace soil around the root ball, gently tamping it down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly.

Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Hedging & Screening:Not suitable due to seasonal leaf drop.

Feature Tree:Plant 6 m – 8 m apart for strong upright structure.

Avenue Planting Trees:Plant 7 m – 10 m apart for tall, clean trunk display.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the initial years. Deep watering is essential. Mature trees can tolerate drier conditions.

Pruning: Prune to remove dead or diseased branches during the dormant season. Thinning the canopy may improve air circulation.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth.

Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for common issues like aphids and canker and address them promptly.

Litter Control: Be aware that the tree may produce cottony seeds that can create litter in the surrounding area.
