SWEDISH COLUMNAR ASPEN  Populus tremula ‘Erecta’
• A strikingly narrow, fast‑growing columnar form of European aspen, valued for its tall, architectural silhouette that provides strong vertical emphasis in tight planting spaces.
• Features rounded, finely serrated leaves that shimmer and flutter in the wind, creating movement and a soft rustling sound similar to trembling aspen.
• Smooth, pale gray bark offers clean, elegant structure year‑round and contrasts beautifully with darker plantings or winter landscapes.
• Produces small, early‑spring catkins that are light, dry, and short‑lived; they provide early pollen for insects and are not considered messy.
• Adaptable to a range of soils, including clay and alkaline conditions; hardy and wind‑tolerant, with moderate drought tolerance once established.
• Full Sun
• Zone 2–3, 12–15 m Height × 2–3 m Width
