Populus fremontii, commonly known as Frémont's cottonwood, [1] is a cottonwood (and thus a poplar) native to riparian zones of the Southwestern United States and northern through central Mexico. [2] It is one of three species in Populus sect. Aigeiros. The tree was named after 19th-century American explorer and pathfinder John C. Frémont.
Populus heterophylla, also known as downy poplar, [2] swamp poplar [2] and swamp cottonwood, [3] is a large deciduous poplar belonging to the Populus genus of the family Salicaceae. This species can grow on sites that have too much water for other native poplars. [ 4 ]

I scanned the trees and saw that a maple tree had "exploded". The explosion caused a big crack in the tree about three feet high. When a winter wind stirs the frozen trees, they sometimes appear to burst vertically. When it was 40 degrees below zero at night, I lay awake and listened to the trees explode. That's a true wilderness thermometer!
Light burning is also been called "Paiute forestry," a direct but derogatory reference to southwestern tribal burning habits. [52] The ecological impacts of settler fires were vastly different than those of their Native American predecessors. Cultural burning practices were functionally made illegal with the passage of the Weeks Act in 1911. [53]

They are large, deciduous trees that are 15–30 m (50–100 ft) tall and diameters of 4 m (13 ft), [2] distinguished by thick, deeply fissured bark and triangular-based to diamond-shaped leaves that are green on both sides (without the whitish wax on the undersides) and without any obvious balsam scent in spring.
