Populus x ‘Jefguard’
A seedless, fast-growing tree with a strong central leader and a narrowly upright and columnar growth habit. It represents the best replacement for the Swedish Aspen given its moderate resistance to bronze leaf disease. Benefits from some pruning at a younger age to help provide a fuller look.
