Often used as a windscreen with its branches creating a dense barrier. Shoots up to 6 ft. or more a year!
Valued for its fast growth habits and picturesque green color, Lombardy Poplars mature quickly into a row of tall, visually pleasing trees.
• |
The unusual, upward-sloping branches form a stunning, columnar outline. |
• |
Creates a remarkable silhouette in any season. |
• |
Songbirds particularly love these trees for nesting and shelter. |
Plant today and in no time you’ll enjoy watching the silver green leaves and unusual branches swaying in the breeze – and when planted on the north side of your yard – you should considerably lower your heating bills!
For a quick privacy screen, order enough to plant 5 to 8 ft. apart. Lombardy Poplar trees are not evergreens, but they continue to provide great wind blockage and privacy.
*Trees are shipped bare root

I have planted the Lombardy Poplar Trees for privacy from the two story house behind us and as a wind break. The trees have grown at least 8 feet in the one year that I have had them. I hope that they continue to grow until I have a total privacy wall behind our house.

wonderful trees. beautiful shape. indeed fastgrowing! ( much more so when grown on the south side of our house. the one grown on the northside of our house has lagged in growth compared-- but not dissappointingly so.) the southside tree is providing summer shade already and has cooled the room that otherwise was so hot in the summer. thank you for a beautiful and functional tree that was quite affordable. These California trees look great.

We bought these trees to make a privacy fence between us and our neighbors. They are growing great. All but one has grown 3 feet in the first year.

I planted these Lombardy Poplar trees about two and a half years ago and in their first season were subjected to three months of very strong winds. Despite that they are brilliant, beyond my expectations. I would suggest wind protection and annual fertilizing to promote healthy growth. I can't wait until next year to see how much more they progress.

I have found Lombardy poplars growing from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to the desert southwest (Phoenix, AZ). Northern California and Nevada are laced with lombardies. The 6 foot lombardies I purchased in February are now (at the end of the Phoenix, AZ growing season) about 10-12 feet tall.
A great fast-grower for screening a fence line or as a windbreak. Very popular with many species of birds. You can find lombardies as specimen trees in front yards.
