The Swedish Columnar Aspen is a striking, upright deciduous tree valued for its narrow, columnar form and elegant vertical presence. Its dense, upright branching makes it an excellent choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, and landscape accents where space is limited. The rounded green leaves tremble gracefully in the breeze, adding movement and texture throughout the growing season. In fall, the foliage turns a brilliant golden yellow, providing vibrant seasonal color. Fast-growing and exceptionally cold-hardy, this tree performs well in urban, rural, and northern landscapes.
Mature Height: 40–50 feet (12–15 meters)
Spacing: 6–10 feet (1.8–3 meters) apart
Features a very narrow, upright growth habit, typically reaching only 10–15 feet wide at maturity.
Often used as a superior alternative to Lombardy Poplar due to improved hardiness and longevity.
Fast growth rate makes it ideal for quickly establishing privacy or wind protection.
Fluttering leaves create visual movement and a soft rustling sound in the landscape.
Performs well in cold climates and is highly tolerant of frost and winter conditions.
Suitable for urban environments, formal plantings, and tight landscape spaces.
Grow Zone: 2–6
