InnovaTree™ Poplar is a fast-growing, cold-hardy tree built for strength and adaptability. Naturally cross-bred by the University of Minnesota from native Eastern cottonwood and European black poplar, it thrives in diverse landscapes, providing quick shade with a classic, upright form. Unlike traditional poplars, it doesn’t sucker, is cottonless, and resists canker. Ideal for windbreaks, urban plantings, erosion control, and conservation projects, it offers durability with lush green foliage that turns golden in fall—a resilient, low-maintenance choice for lasting beauty and function.
