Swedish Columnar Aspen

What: Swedish Columnar Aspen (Populus tremula ‘Erecta’) is a tall, rigidly columnar tree creating a dramatic vertical accent in the landscape. This exceptionally cold-hardy and fast-growing deciduous tree features forest green foliage that turns yellow in fall and attractive furrowed gray bark in winter.

Best use: Ideal as a sharp vertical accent or planted in a row to create a very tall privacy screen or windbreak. Its bold, formal presence makes it one of the most striking columnar trees available for prairie landscapes. Plant thoughtfully and in the right location for maximum effect.
