Populus nigra "Italica", Lombardy Poplar
Western and Central Europe
-
-
Belonging to the willow family, the poplar is closely related to willows and aspens. This is a tall and narrow tree commonly seen on old estates, along roads as remnants of former avenues, near water bodies as ornamentals, and in parks. It is used for reforestation and originates from Western and Central Europe, while in regions like Argentina, North America, and South Africa it is considered an invasive species and ecological weed. Due to its elegant form, Poplars can be used to create green walls over 30 meters high, serving as effective windbreaks. This long-lived tree can often reach 200–300 years of age.

Adapted to a wide range of temperatures, the tree tolerates both high and low temperatures, from 30°C down to approximately -20°C. It also withstands wet soils as well as dry conditions, particularly during drought periods.
You can purchase seedlings of Lombardy Poplar 3-year 2.5 m at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
