Populus alba, or White Poplar, is a fast-growing, suckering, spreading, deciduous tree with a broad-rounded crown, and 3-5 lobed, dark green leaves, silvery and hairy underneath, white when young, golden yellow in autumn. Small, reddish male or greenish female catkins appear on separate plants in spring, before the leaves. Female flowers are followed by capsules that open to release cottony seeds. Roots can be invasive. White Poplar is easily grown in a wide range of soils and soil conditions, even poorly-drained, except constantly waterlogged. It thrives in average, moist, well-drained soils. It prefers full sun. It is tolerant of salt and winds, therefore, suitable for coastal areas. Attractive to bees and birds. Low maintenance plant. Populus alba, with its attractive foliage, is a great ornamental tree, perfect for very large woodland gardens or parks. Excellent as a windbreak or a screen tree. Not suitable for streets or near the houses because of its vigorous roots and messy tendencies.
