    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Gold/yellow leaves with stark white backs. Do a bit of fluttering in the breeze to show off the white color. Plant it where you can mow around it since it has a tendency to sucker and mowing around it takes care of the suckers.

    A delightful form, very effective at a distance (Hillier), the leaves of this smaller growing Poplar are golden above, white beneath. Sun/Med-Wet (Thank you, Mystie Bollaert)
