Abstract:

The poplar variety ‘Quanhong’, was derived from a bud mutation of another poplar variety, ‘Zhonghong’. The variety is formed after years of research and cultivation. The whole leaves and new shoots were dark purple from bud flushing in spring to late June. The leaves became purple from July to September. After October, the leaves turned to bright red. One-year seedlings turned into dark purple at the end of July. Petioles and veins of leaves were bright red. The variety is suitable for growing in a wide range of regions.

Key words: poplar, red leaves, varieties, &lsquo, Quanhong&rsquo
