PLANT PROFILE

Populus yunnanensis, commonly known as Chinese Poplar, is a fast-growing deciduous tree prized for its upright form, broad rounded canopy, and rapid establishment. Growing 15–25 meters tall with a spread of 8–12 meters, it makes an impressive shade tree or windbreak for large gardens, rural landscapes, and commercial plantings.

They look excellent when used as avenue trees or shelterbelts, providing quick vertical structure and vibrant seasonal interest with glossy green leaves that turn bright golden yellow in autumn. Its strong central trunk and symmetrical habit create a striking architectural presence in open spaces.

Chinese Poplar thrives in full sun, adapts well to a range of soil types, and tolerates moderate drought and frost once established. With low maintenance requirements—only occasional pruning to maintain form—it’s a reliable choice for fast-growing shade, screening, and large-scale landscape projects.

  • Fast Growth Rate

Hedging & Screening: Not recommended due to large canopy and deciduous nature.

Feature Tree: Space 5 m – 6 m apart to showcase its broad-leaf form.

Avenue Planting Trees: Space 6 m – 8 m apart for balanced rows.

Planting Tips: Ensuring a Strong Start

  1. Site Selection: Full sun with space to spread.
  2. Hole Prep: Dig twice as wide as the root ball, at the same depth.
  3. Backfill & Watering: Backfill with original soil and water deeply.
  4. Mulch: Keep mulch clear of the trunk to prevent rot.

5. Staking: Stake young trees in exposed areas until roots are established.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
