BYLAND GREEN POPLAR  Populus sp. ‘Byland Green’
• A vigorous, upright hybrid poplar selected by Bylands Nurseries for its strong prairie performance, fast growth, and clean, dark green foliage. Its tall, columnar to narrow‑oval form makes it an excellent choice for shelterbelts and large‑scale screening.
• Features rich green summer foliage and a bright, attractive yellow fall colour, offering more seasonal interest than many traditional shelterbelt poplars.
• Notable for its cottonless habit and distinctively green bark, giving it a fresh, vibrant appearance even in youth.
• Highly valued for its exceptional drought tolerance and ability to thrive in exposed prairie sites, including open fields, clay soils, and windy locations.
• Suckering is moderate, helping the tree naturally thicken shelterbelt rows, fill gaps, and maintain long‑term density—an advantage in rural windbreaks and farmyard protection plantings.
• A strong performer for acreages and agricultural landscapes where rapid height, resilience, and reliable shelterbelt function are top priorities.
