Populus Yunnanensis (Pleached Chinese Poplar)

Populus Yunnanensis (Pleached Chinese Poplar) is a formally trained deciduous tree valued for its elegant, horizontal branching structure and fast-growing nature. This pleached form features a clear stem with a carefully trained, flat plane of foliage that creates a living screen or architectural feature. The heart-shaped leaves emerge fresh green in spring, mature to dark green, and turn yellow in autumn, providing seasonal interest while maintaining the formal structure.

Ideal for creating green walls, privacy screens, or architectural elements in formal gardens, this pleached poplar thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It is particularly effective for defining spaces, creating garden rooms, or adding height and structure to landscape designs. This trained form offers both practical screening and aesthetic appeal while maintaining a neat, formal appearance.
