Hi!  I have some hybrid poplars planted for privacy at the bottom of my garden, they were about 8ft tall when planted In early 2020 and have gained quite a good amount of height, but I'd like to see them bulk out a bit, any advice on how to do this would be appreciated .  Thanks

    Poplars are a light and airy tree ... thickening up is not in their nature ... I think pruning would destroy their natural elegance ... they will get thicker and more leafy as they mature ... they're likely to grow very tall. Do you know which hybrid they are?
