Handcrafted Model Tree – Lombardy Poplar in Late Autumn

This handcrafted Lombardy poplar in late autumn brings its slender, columnar form and foliage that has already largely changed colour to your model landscape. The crown is still clearly recognisable as a narrow pyramidal shape, but now appears lighter and more transparent: yellow, ochre and olive tones mix with the first bare branches. 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 in the late 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 about 25 to 30 metres and, in exceptional cases, up to around 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 late autumn version is ideal for layouts set in the transition from autumn to winter, when deciduous trees are already strongly coloured and beginning to lose their leaves.
