Plant Description

The Populus nigra var. italica, commonly known as the Lombardy Poplar, is a fast-growing, deciduous tree recognized for its distinctive columnar shape. Its upright branches form a narrow silhouette, making it ideal for windbreaks, borders, or as an architectural element in landscapes. The green, triangular leaves flutter gracefully in the wind and turn golden-yellow in autumn. Native to Europe, this elegant tree is highly adaptable and is often used for creating dramatic vertical accents in gardens and avenues.
