| | | Trees for Wet Ground: Black Poplar (Populus nigra) Don't confuse the Black Poplar with hybrids. Richard Mabey, in his excellent Flora Britannica, estimates there are only 4-6,000 of these long living trees left in the country, largely as a consequence of land reclamation and drainage. In Sussex there are said to be only 33 left. These are very fast growing landmark trees that need the wet.
The Black Poplar (why "black" no-one knows ) has an invasive root system, but its spreading habit means it typically leans over if left unpollarded.They not only need damp conditions to regenerate, but male and female trees also need to be close to each other. Male Black Poplars have red catkins in Spring, known in some parts as "Devil's fingers". The wood was traditionally prized for its fire resistance, although its open grain meant it could absorb paraffin wax and so its was used for matches. It was also used for carts because of its springiness and tendency not to splinter.

Please note that standard sizes relate to tree girths in cm. See our size guide for details and tips on planting. If you do not plant your Black Poplar plants on receipt, they should be unwrapped and either heeled in, or soaked in cold water for 10-15 minutes before replacing in their packaging and leaving in a cool frost free place before planting within 14 days. A small number of bare root plants will fail, but this can be considerably reduced by making sure the roots do not dry out while planting. Chose a frost and wind free damp day, and keep the whips in a bucket of water while planting out.
