A Populetum is a collection of live poplars. The poplars in this Populetum belong to the American (Populus deltoides) and the European (Populus nigra) black poplar, forming a unique collection in Europe.
As early as the 18th century, both species began to spontaneously cross in Europe, resulting in the 'Canadian poplar,' which showed stronger growth than the parent trees.
These poplars were used in the INBO breeding program to create healthy trees with rapid growth and excellent wood quality for the wood processing industry.
The native black poplars in this Populetum are being further studied for sensitivity to diseases, pests, and adaptability to climate change.
