Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system. Once established, the Hybrid Poplar is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrune as needed in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain shape. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer if growth appears slow. Monitor for common pests and diseases, and consult your local extension service for region-specific advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne live Hybrid Poplar tree, approximately 2-3 feet tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836029501750,"sku":"FOLIA2-1936","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6584612444_a4m5.jpg?v=1793097547","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/live-hybrid-poplar-tree-fast-growing-shade-cottonless-2-3-feet","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
