In the new 2024 Autumn/Winter Webinar programme, Suffolk Tree Warden, David Appleton will discuss the incredible Native Black Poplar.
The Native Black Poplar (‘NBP’) (Populus nigra subsp. betulifolia) is a member of the Salicaceae family. It is dioecious and is thought either to be native or to have recolonised Britain some 7,500 years ago. Historically it was associated with riverside woodland and floodplains, being relatively fast-growing and short-lived, and is one of Britain’s largest and most charismatic trees, with a distinctive, untidy silhouette, often with a heavy lean and down-sweeping lower branches.
