Abstract: A new poplar variety, ‘Sangju', was bred from the seeds collected from the open pollinated Populus deltoides trees in the tree garden, at the soil protection centre of Auckland, New Zealand. Its morphology is similar to Populus euramericana. The variety grows fast and resists to the pest, Apripona germari, which cannot complete its life history on the poplar variety.
