About
Chinese Necklace Poplar
The Chinese necklace poplar (Populus lasiocarpa) is a deciduous tree native to Asia, notably China, known for its striking reddish-brown bark that peels in thin strips, giving it a unique appearance. It’s often planted for its ornamental value in gardens and landscapes due to its relatively small to medium size, rounded crown shape, and green ovate leaves.
