POPLAR TREES
This includes: Green Giant (item #8375), Prairie Sky, Paskapoo (item #8395) & Okanese.
PLANTING & SPACING
These fast-growing trees are very large at maturity (40-60ft.).
SPACING
Green Giant & Okanese Poplar: Space 15-25ft. apart. Prairie Sky & Paskapoo Poplar: Space 10-20ft. apart.
FOR WINDBREAKS
Staggered rows provide the best results. Space rows 20ft. apart for an effective wind barrier.
WATERING & CARE
At planting: Ensure a heavy soaking at the time of planting. First season: Continue weekly waterings until leaves start to change colour (senescence).
FERTILIZING
Second year: Use a 20-20-20 water-soluble fertilizer or a slow-release granular tree & shrub fertilizer as per product instructions.
WINDBREAK MAINTENANCE
For the most effective wind screen, leave branching all the way to the ground rather than pruning lower branches.
