Black Poplars, Populus nigra, Goxhill Haven

Black Poplar are a native tree that are now in decline in the UK with just 7000 remaining. They grow in isolation and prefer boggy conditions often near ditches and on floodplains. They can live up to 200 years and often loose limbs but they do regrow. 





Three Black Poplars in this hedgeline, the middle one having fallen over. All covered by a Tree Preservation Order.
