The Appealing Bark of the Tree

One of the other many names for this tree is the white poplar due to its unusual bark. This tree has bark that ranges from a pale, silvery color to a bright, white color. The light color helps it stand out from all the other darker plants around your property. To make the tree even more eye-catching, its bark is often mottled with black stripes or spots. This appealing pattern adds a lot of visual interest to any location.

The Stunning Colors 

This tree has small, round leaves with gently serrated edges. During spring and summer, the leaves are multi-colored. They have a green top and a silver bottom, so waves of color ripple through the tree as the wind blows. These trees react strongly to temperature changes. As soon as it gets a little colder, they turn a bright golden color and stay that shade for weeks. Some trees may eventually darken to a rich, red shade, but the majority stay a sunshine yellow color throughout the fall.
