Populus × canescens, the grey poplar, is a hybrid between Populus alba (white poplar) and P. tremula (common aspen). It is intermediate between its parents, with a thin grey downy coating on the leaves, which are much less deeply lobed than the leaves of P. alba.
Leaf size is very variable even on a single tree, typically with small leaves on side shoots, and very large leaves on strong-growing lead shoots. The leaves often turn bright gold to yellow before they fall during autumn. [2] [3] The seeds of the poplar tree are easily dispersed by the wind, due to the fine hairs surrounding them.
White poplar hybridizes with the closely related common aspen Populus tremula; the resulting hybrid, known as grey poplar (Populus × canescens), is intermediate between its parents, with a thin, grey, downy coating on the leaves, which are also much less deeply lobed than white poplar leaves. It exhibits marked hybrid vigour, reaching 40 m ...
Populus × jackii (balm-of-Gilead, [1] bam bud, [2] bom-a-gilly [2]) is the hybrid between balsam poplar, Populus balsamifera, and the eastern cottonwood, Populus deltoides, occurring occasionally where the two parental species' ranges overlap.
Many of the cottonwoods grown commercially are the hybrid of eastern cottonwood and black poplar, Populus × canadensis (hybrid black poplar or Carolina poplar). Cottonwood bark is often a favorite medium for artisans. The bark, which is usually harvested in the fall after a tree's death, is generally very soft and easy to carve.
Populus × canadensis, known as Canadian poplar or Carolina poplar, is a naturally occurring hybrid of Populus nigra and Populus deltoides. [2] It is a vigorous, broadly columnar, deciduous tree growing to 40 m (130 ft), which is commonly used by landscape architects.

It is a naturally occurring hybrid of narrowleaf cottonwood, Populus angustifolia, and eastern cottonwood, Populus deltoides, found where their ranges overlap. It is planted as a shade tree in cities in the Rockies, preferring to grow at elevations between 4,500 and 8,500 ft. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Given the plant's proclivity (like other poplars) to send ...
