	POPLAR - LoveToKnow Article on POPLAR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The poplars are almost entirely confined to the north temperate zone, but a few approach or even pass its northern limit, and they are widely distributed within that area; they show, like the willows, a partiality for moist ground and often line the river-sides in otherwise treeless districts.
		nigra, the fl poplar, is a tree of large growth, with dark, deeply-furrowed bank on the trunk, and ash-colored branches; the smooth deltoid leaves, serrated regularly on the margin, are of the deep green tint which has given name to the tree; the petioles, slightly compressed, are only about half the length of the leaves.
		The Lombardy poplar is valuable chiefly as an ornamental tree, its timber being of very inferior quality; its tall, erect growth renders it useful to the landscape-gardener as a relief to the rounded forms of other trees, or in contrast to the horizontal lines of the lake or river-bank where it delights to grow.

		Black poplars are associated with alluvial soils in river valleys and floodplains generally south of a line from the Mersey to the Humber, with particular concentrations across the Midlands from the Welsh Marches to East Anglia (Milne-Redhead 1990) and notably in the Vale of Aylesbury (Mabey 1996).
		This spreading habit is dramatically different from the elongated shape of the Lombardy poplar (Populus nigra "Italica") that, surprisingly, is a cultivated variety of the fl poplar that was imported to Essex from Turin in 1758 (Elwes and Henry 1913, 7:1705-1806) and widely planted because of its unusual shape.
		Poplars are unusual in that there are separate male and female trees rather than both types of flower being on the one tree or the flowers containing both male stamens (with the pollen) and female ovaries.

		Average height of fl poplar is 100 to 115 feet with diameters of 3 to 4 feet.
		Italian fl poplar is tough and will not splinter unlike some softwoods, but it can be "woolly" and is therefore used in its roughest form for the bottoms of trucks and wagons and for furniture framing and interior joinery.
		The fl (poplars) are the biggest branch, containing all the poplars which aren’t white under the leaves, don’t smell of balsam in bud (or if the twigs are bruised), and don’t tremble (as the aspens do)."

		The wood of the fl poplar is naturally heat and fire resistant and was used for brake blocks on wagons in days of yore.
		Black Poplars are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and may not be uprooted without the permission of the landowner.
		Black poplar should never be planted near houses, on golf courses, by bowling greens, or around fields on heavy land: its water demands may well cause shrinkage and searching rootlets will completely block drains.

		Poplars are deciduous, and turn bright gold to yellow before their leaves fall.
		Like willows, many poplars have very strong and invasive root systems, so they must not be planted too close to houses or waterpipes as they will crack walls and pipes in their search for moisture.
		Poplars of the cottonwood section are often wetlands or riparian trees.

		Black poplar timber is particularly shock and fire resistant and it was widely used in wagon bottoms, for scaffolding, fenceposts and in the roofs of buildings.
		The fl poplar is a robust, broadly rounded tree which can grow to a height of 30 metres, with a crown of 20 metres and a trunk diameter (at breast height) of up to 250 cms.
		Black poplar is considered to be native to Britain (Stace, 1991) and most trees are found south of a line from the Mersey to the Humber estuaries, with a few scattered individuals occurring as far north as the River Tees (Milne-Redhead, 1990; Durham WT, 2000).

		The most used type for this purpose is the fl poplar or hybrids derived from it, while the white poplar is not used at all, being mechanically unsuitable for veneer peeling.
		In Italy, the poplar is free from certain diseases which are endemic in neighboring countries; it is especially resistant to the dripping canker.
		In the rice fields of the Piedmont, poplar is closely related to the cultivation of this grain, since the annual flooding of the fields produces the necessary moisture for the growth of the tree.

		The leaves of many poplars, including the cottonwoods and aspens (but not the balsam poplars), have laterally-flattened stems, so that breezes easily cause the leaves to wobble back and forth, giving the whole tree a "twinkling" appearance in a breeze.
		Fast-growing hybrid poplars are grown on plantations in many areas for pulpwood and used for the manufacture of paper.
		Poplars and aspens are important food plants for the larvae of some species of Lepidoptera including Figure of Eighty, Clouded Border, Poplar Hawk-moth, Poplar Kitten and Coxcomb Prominent.

	Black Poplar
		Black Poplar is a deciduous tree with a rounded outline up to 30 m tall with a strongly ridged bark broken up by large numbers of rough, swollen areas, 'bosses', which are absent in the similar Italian Poplar.
		In the similar Italian Poplar all branches are spreading and in the Lombardy Poplar (which is a variety of fl poplar) they are all upright (see illustration opposite).
		Poplar wood has an open texture easily impregnated with paraffin wax which makes it one of the most frequently used for match-making.

		The "tall Poplars," however, alluded to in the lyrics of Horace, as the supports round which the vines were twined, were not of the variety now known as the Lombardy Poplar.
		Though a merely "fastigiate" habit is not generally considered a character of specific importance, the presence of these suckers in the Lombardy Poplar is an important distinction between it and the Black Poplar, with which botanists generally unite it.
		The beauty of the Lombardy Poplar is mainly one of landscape effect, its tall, erect growth acting as a relief or foil to the rounded outlines of other trees, and contrasting admirably with the horizontal lines of the water by the side of which it is so often seen.

	Balsam Poplar, Populus balsamifera
		In the region, balsam poplar occurs on sites that are relatively rich in nutrients and less acidic, and in relatively small, localized stands, in association with fl and white spruce, balsam fir and trembling aspen.
		Balsam poplar stump sprouts may be of little potential value in replacement of trees in mature stands after disturbance because of the fragile connection between sprout and stump.
		Average height of balsam poplar was about 1 m (3.2 ft) after 3 years; height of dominants was 2.5 to 3.0 m (8.1 to 9.8 ft).
