The Black Poplar - Populus nigra is a large, fast-growing, broad-headed tree, it was once common on flood plains and in river valleys, but the destruction of habitat and hybridisation with other species has meant that this ecologically important tree is now seriously endangered and has become Britain's rarest tree.

The last remaining Arbor Tree day in England takes place each year at the end of May in the Shropshire village of Aston on Clun celebrating the marriage of John Marston and Mary Carter who were married in 1786 on a day coinciding with Arbor Tree Day and so taken were they with the decoration of the Black Poplar - Populus nigra tree at the centre of the village, that the Marston family gave funds to support Arbor Tree day and the Black Poplar in perpetuity,

The leaves of the Black Poplar - Populus nigra tree are glossy, opening with a bronze tint in spring, and darkening to a glossy dark green before turning yellow at autumn time. The leaves are diamond-shaped extending to 10cm long. The bark is very dark brown, almost black, and deeply fissured. The trunk is heavily burred.

The current height of our Black Poplar - Populus nigra trees is approximately 30-50cm and they can be planted out all year round.
