How To Plant Siouxland Poplar Cottonwood
The Siouxland Poplar prefers wet to well draining soil, making it very adaptable. We recommend this tree be planted in full sunlight to allow optimal growth.
How To Water
When it comes to watering your tree, at first planting, water should be applied at least twice a week until established. Using our Elements Watering System will allow you to do this with ease.
How To Fertilize
Incorporate Elements Starter Plant Food granular form into the soil when planting. If planting in spring or summer, start fertilizing late fall using Elements Starter Plant food granular form on an annual basis each fall. Continue this for the first three years to get your plant well established.
How To Prune
Prune in winter to maintain shape when young. We would also like to note that these trees - instead of producing the messy cotton seeds - actually produce suckers which grow from the root system. These can be pruned away to maintain growth and a clean landscape.

It thrives in full sun and open spaces. Siouxland grows well in moist or dry soils and performs best in areas with good air movement and plenty of room for its roots to spread.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
