What should I do after pruning my Black poplar?

Feedback

There are no special requirements to follow after you have pruned your Black poplar. It is recommended, however, that you dispose of any diseased foliage that has been removed from the tree away from any other plants. This is to avoid spreading the disease to other plants. After pruning your Black poplar, you may apply a fertilizer treatment to encourage faster growth. Do not water the plants immediately after pruning as this can lead to fungal infestation of the plants through the wounds.

Black poplar

A species of Populus, also known as Italian poplar

Botanical name: Populus nigra

Genus: Populus

Description

Black poplar (Populus nigra) is a medium- to large-sized deciduous tree which can be naturally found in many alluvial European forests. It is a fast-growing tree, with a wide crown which is a common nesting place for different species of birds. Due to the degradation of its natural habitat, black poplar has become an endangered species in certain areas.

Garden Use

Black poplar is a large, fast-growing tree of genus Populus, providing a contrast with dark conifers during all seasons. Its leaves may turn brilliant yellow to gold, orange or slightly red in the fall and can bring vivid colors to your garden. Some species are also famous for their sweet and strong fragrance in spring. As black poplar can establish easily in a variety of soils and temperatures, it is not hard to maintain. But the cottony-fuzz outside its seeds may be released during the summer to create an annoyance for the living areas, and its root tends to be well-developed so a deep pit is needed.
