Description: A fast-growing deciduous tree with deeply lobed leaves and a silvery underside that creates a shimmering effect in wind. Offers rapid shade establishment and a broad, open canopy; foliage turns pale yellow in autumn. Suited to large landscapes and riparian sites where quick canopy cover is needed.
Position
Full sun to part shade; space well away from structures due to extensive roots.
Soil
Prefers moist to wet, fertile soils; tolerates periodic flooding and heavy clays; avoid waterlogged, compacted sites near buildings.
Pruning
Prune early for strong structure and to remove weak, crossing branches; avoid heavy pruning on mature trees as limbs can be brittle.
