Description 

Our Hybrid Poplar trees are among the fastest-growing trees you can plant in the UK, reaching up to 2 metres of growth each year. These vigorous, fast-growing British trees are perfect if you need quick growing privacy trees, large screening trees, or an effective natural windbreak. Their rapid growth also makes them well-suited for sustainable timber production.

 

If you’re looking for fast growing trees for screening or quick privacy trees, Hybrid Poplars are an unbeatable choice. Within just a few years, they will create a tall, dense screen – ideal for shielding your garden, field, or property from view. Mature specimens can reach 20–25 metres high with an 8–10 metre spread, providing long-term structure and cover.

 

At Bowhayes Trees, we have propagated our own vigorous clones through careful natural plant breeding. This ensures reliable performance and consistent results for UK growers.

 

Benefits & Maintenance

  • Low maintenance trees – simple to establish and care for.

  • Can be coppiced like willow for continual regrowth.

  • Suitable for pollarding to control size or shape.

  • Extremely resilient, regenerating quickly after cutting.

 

Planting Position

Hybrid Poplars thrive in well-drained soil and adapt well to both exposed and sheltered sites. They flourish in sunny or partially shaded positions, and like willow, they tolerate wetter ground. This makes them an excellent choice if you need fast-growing trees for damp areas, privacy screens, or shelter belts in challenging conditions.

 

Plant Spacing

For standard planting: allow 3–4m spacing between trees. For dense screening trees: plant in a double row with 1–2m spacing, staggering trees across the rows for a thick, layered effect.

 

Why Choose Hybrid Poplars?

  • UK fast-growing trees with proven performance.

  • Perfect for privacy planting, windbreaks, and quick screening.

  • Sustainably grown and propagated at Bowhayes Trees.

  • Ideal for large gardens, farms, and landscaping projects.
