One of the fastest growing and most attractive shade trees you can find.

New home builders love to use our Poplars as front yard shade trees. They quickly get that established look that can add thousands to the value of their homes. Hybrid Poplars have a pleasing oval shape that complements any property.

You can plant these Poplars wherever you need fast shade or privacy. They’ve been known to grow up to 8 ft. in a single year and can dramatically cool your home in the summer. In the winter, they drop their dense green foliage, letting through sunlight when it’s needed most.

Due to the tree's height of 40-50 feet, you can strategically plant them to block your house from direct sunlight, lowering your air conditioning costs.

• Extremely easy to grow
• Tolerates poor soils including acidic, alkaline, or wet soils
• Thrives in virtually any growing condition

Beware – not all Hybrid Poplars are the same. Ours are bred for landscape purposes, not timber. So you get a better formed, long-lived tree.

The Builders who normally buy these Hybrid Poplars have stopped building, so now we’re left with thousands of them. We can see them growing bigger and bigger each day. Soon they’ll be too large to ship.

That’s why we’re discounting them by as much as 50%. Now you can easily afford to increase your property value and add shade to your yard.

It's Easy to Plant your Hybrid Poplar

Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Hybrid Poplar. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.


Step 2 - Place Your Tree
Next, separate the roots of your Hybrid Poplar gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Hybrid Poplar again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

When I planted 5 Hybrid Poplars in the Fall of 2007 they were just "sticks" about 4 ft. tall. I planted three of them on the west side of our home to shade two bedroom windows and two in the front yard, facing South, for landscaping. The two in front are now about nine feet tall and the ones on the west side are about five feet tall. All are very healthy and Im looking forward to the shade they will provide.

Very vigorous grower! Specimen tree in front and back yards - it is a great growing tree. They have both doubled in size already. One problem we had in the back yard tree it grew so fast it doubled over - proper staking and support corrected the problem quickly. We are very happy with them.

By: Bryan in Hastings, MI
We planted four hybrid poplars in 2006 that were about 4 ft tall. Now, all the trees are all around 25 feet tall! I swear you can see new growth every morning when you get up. Great trees, and fun to watch grow.

By: Victor in Washington, DC
I planted the Hybrid Poplar tree in the Fall of 2008. It was 3 ft tall and of course I had my doubts. But once Spring rolled in the tree started sprouting leaves. Weve gotten so much rain this spring that our tree is well over 7 feet tall and already is showing a full collection of leaves - looking like a mini tree. I placed three heavy stakes around the tree to prevent severe swaying. Weve also gotten a lot of wind this past spring. I guess Im a little cautious but Im so proud of this tree I dont want it to be uprooted. I expect to continue to grow well over 12 feet this year! So far so good, Im very happy and excited.

By: Dean in IL
I love my trees and I am so glad that I went to your website. These trees are great and are growing faster than any trees I have seen. I thought that a Maple tree grew quick but the Hybrid Poplar and the Royal Empress blow them away. Great Company and Great trees! Thank You for being in business and I will be buying more next spring.

By: Ishmael in Lancaster, CA
I ordered 40 plus trees, and theyre all doing great. Easy maintenance. Fast growing. Good looking tree.

By: Mary Anne in Palm Coast, FL
I live in Florida and the back of our home faces West. Very Hot. We planted our hybrid poplar tree right off the patio. We needed shade desperately. With any other tree we would wait years for the growth we need to get shade. Well, let me tell you everything you said about this tree is true. It is a little over a year and half and it is now 15 feet tall. We are amazed, and so are people that visit. I pointed out to them when I planted the tree or should I say stick. Now! They cant believe it is the same tree. I had intentions of purchasing two more for my son for the front of his home here in Florida.

My hybrid poplar trees arrived in very good shape. I planted my poplars behind my vinyl privacy fence as a windbreak. The wind in Wyoming is brutal and the little trees took quite a beating last winter. I did stake them and fence them, putting up burlap as a protector. They leafed out well in the spring and looked good all summer but did not get as big as I had hoped. They probably grew 2 feet but are still not visible over my six foot fence. I am watering them with a drip system probably 2.5 gallons a day or double that when the temp is over 95 degrees. Maybe I should water more gallons less often ? The soil is very clayey but I tried to amend it well before planting. All in all I love the trees and am very satisfied with the purchase.

If you want a majestic fast growing, this is it. And to top it off, the leaves are a gorgeous heart shape.

By: Jason in Waco, TX
Purchased and planted this tree in late Feb 2009. Tree is now 6 feet tall... The tree grew 5 feet in 6 months! Has leaves like you wouldnt believe. They are about 10 inches long by 8 inches wide. Im guessing the tree will have grown to 8 feet tall by the end of summer if not more.
