Lombardy Poplar (Populus nigra)

Tree



 Lombardy Poplar 

Lombardy poplar trees grow rapidly. They could grow to a mature height of up to 60 feet, spreading around 12 feet. However, most are killed by canker disease within 15 years, so large specimens are hard to find. Lombardy poplar tree facts tell you that the trees are deciduous.
