How to Use Swedish Columnar Aspen in the Landscape

These trees beg to be used in groups. Suit yourself...plant either in military-precision straight rows, or loose, naturalized plantings. Either way creates extremely effective vertical accents that live large in the landscape.

Use a pair on either side of a tall portico entryway. You'll soften the look without losing the grandeur of your architecture.

Line Swedish Aspens up on either side of your driveway for a bold avenue. Roll the windows down to enjoy their rustling sound. Drive slowly as a mindful transitional home-coming.

In the backyard, carve out space for yourself using these columnar Aspens as living garden walls. Imagine an outdoor dining room, with the stars as a ceiling. What a gift for you and your guests!

Place them on the north side of your pool deck for an elegant privacy screen. Plant them eight feet apart on center, measuring from the trunk of one to the trunk of the next.

And you'll surely find just the right spot to highlight this magnificent tree as a single specimen. Grab an outdoor light, and point it up into the canopy for nighttime interest, as well.

The leaves turn such pretty colors in the fall. Why not add their tall and narrow form as a gorgeous backdrop to a mixed shrub border?

You'll appreciate the steady strength of these columnar trees to boost the visual impact of your favorite shrubs and perennials. This Quaking Aspen variety mixes beautifully with everything from Bird's Nest Spruce to Groundcover Roses.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Swedish Columnar Aspen performs best in moist, cool, well-drained soils on an east or north-facing slope. Plant in full sun, with at least six hours of direct sunlight a day.

Mulch is a must with these beautiful trees. Apply a three-inch layer over their root systems, and spread below their canopy. Pull it six inches away from the trunk for proper air circulation.

Give a medium amount of water if you don't receive adequate rainfall. Keep your tree stress free with a good soaking on a regular basis.

You'll likely never need to prune these hardy, durable trees. However, if you need to correct or clean up, wait to prune until early spring.
