The Black Poplar - Britain's rarest native timber tree. Often as isolated trees, their thick knobbly trunks and crowns dark against the sky, the native Black Poplar is both a denizen of soft, man-modified river plain landscapes, and a symbol of the mysteries of nature. Once used for basketry, the history of the native Black Poplar is closely tied up with the activities of our own species. Does not like to dry out.
Small saplings (2 to 3 feet), male specimens available at present; sent bare-rooted. Propagated from native Welsh stock.
