Currently unavailable
Selected for its more uniform upright growth and branch habit, this male form of Sargent Cottonwood grows well in the western plains states. Distinctly upright in its younger years, trees can become more rounded with age. Triangle-shaped light green leaves are rather glossy and remain clean through the growing season. Older trees develop a thick rough bark.
