🌳 Buy Black Poplar Tree Saplings (Populus nigra) – Rare Native with Deep Heritage
Bring a piece of Britain's natural and cultural history to your garden with the Black Poplar (Populus nigra) - one of the UK’s rarest and most iconic native trees. Once a familiar sight along floodplains and riverbanks, this striking tree has become increasingly scarce due to habitat loss and hybridisation, making it an important species for restoration and conservation planting.
The Black Poplar is a large, broad-headed, fast-growing tree with rich seasonal interest. Its glossy, diamond-shaped leaves emerge in spring with a bronze tint, deepening to dark green through summer and turning a golden yellow in autumn. The tree’s deeply fissured dark bark and burred trunk give it a rugged, characterful appearance that stands out in any landscape.
This species also holds a special place in English tradition. In the village of Aston on Clun, the Arbor Tree Day celebration at the end of May honours the Black Poplar, commemorating a historic wedding and community heritage tied to this majestic tree.
