Overview
Prairie Sky has the tall, tight column of a Lombardy poplar with better resistance to the canker that kills Lombardy young. Gold fall color. The photo shows a row of Lombardy poplar, which has the same tall, narrow shape.
Origin & History
Selected at the Agriculture Canada research station in Morden, Manitoba, the same station behind a number of our hardiest fruit varieties.
Uses
Screens, lane rows and tight property lines where you want height without width.
Growth Habit
Narrowly columnar, fast, with upswept branches.
Spacing
Plant 5 to 8 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 125 to 200 ft.
Pollination
Not a concern. All trees are male and shed no cotton.
Cold hardiness
We rate Prairie Sky to zone 3, winters to -40°F.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.
