Salicaceae
Populus tremula ‘Erecta’, also known as the upright trembling aspen, is a deciduous tree with a narrow columnar habit, ideal for confined spaces or structured plantings. Native to Europe, this cultivar is distinguished by its light green round leaves that tremble at the slightest breeze, bringing a unique sensory dimension to the garden. In autumn, its foliage turns golden yellow, adding a luminous seasonal touch. Adapted to fresh to moderately dry, well-drained soils, and sunny exposures, this poplar tolerates cold well and makes an excellent vertical screen, while also providing habitat for wildlife. Its rapid growth and narrow silhouette make it perfect for alignments, entrances, or urban gardens, where it structures the space while maintaining a light and natural appearance.
