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 and even less chance of suckering. Benefits from some pruning at a younger age to help provide a fuller look.
