The 'Italica' is a tall and mighty tree that grows to have a lovely fastigate form which makes it perfect for structural planting. The leaves are almost diamond shaped with slightly serrated edges and they are a healthy mid-green colour. You can plant this poplar in a variety of conditions and it will still thrive, including waterlogged sites and windy sites. This is a fast-growing variety that is great for use as a windbreak in a large garden.
