A poplar found in clumps on
sandy flats and in alkaline places.
The tree apparently does not grow
very large but is of value as a shade
tree and for windbreaks in alkaline
sections in the northern states. The
trunks and twigs are of a greyish
white color.

absent, allowing of very close plantings. 
Rapid grower, producing large
quantities of timber suitable for scaffolding 
or lumber for small packing
boxes.
