Handcrafted Model Tree – Lombardy Poplar in Early Autumn

This handcrafted Lombardy poplar in early autumn brings its slender, columnar form and foliage that is just beginning to change colour to your model landscape. The still dense crown reaches almost down to the ground and shows the characteristic narrow pyramidal shape, with the first yellowish-green and olive tones between the leaves. Use this model tree as a striking solitary feature, in short rows lining roads and paths or in small groups to recreate typical avenues and village scenes at the beginning of the autumn season on your layout.

The Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra ‘Italica’), also known as pyramidal or columnar black poplar, served as the prototype for this model. It is widely planted throughout Europe, especially as an avenue and roadside tree. In nature it typically reaches heights of around 25 to 30 metres and, in exceptional cases, up to about 40 metres. Choose the model size that matches your scale, or follow our recommendation based on your model railway gauge, and you will receive an exclusive model tree that blends harmoniously into your model landscape. The early autumn version is ideal for layouts set in the transition from late summer to autumn, when the vegetation has not yet fully turned.
