GATEKEEPER ASPEN Populus tremuloides ‘Gatekeeper’
• A refined, upright selection of native trembling aspen chosen for its improved resistance to common poplar diseases and its strong, uniform form.
• Features the classic shimmering, round leaves that flutter in the slightest breeze, creating movement and sound that add life to prairie landscapes.
• Smooth, pale bark provides year‑round visual interest, especially striking against snow or dark evergreens.
• Produces small, early‑spring catkins that serve as an important pollen source for native insects; they are small, dry, and not considered messy.
• Highly adaptable to prairie soils, including clay and alkaline conditions; excellent tolerance to wind exposure and drought once established.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2, 10–15 m Height × 4–6 m Width
