About the genus

Populus consists of deciduous trees that typically grow rapidly and reach substantial sizes. These trees exhibit a dioecious reproductive system, with male and female catkins found on separate specimens, blooming prior to leaf emergence. The male catkins are generally more visually appealing, while the female catkins can be problematic due to their production of cottony seeds that are dispersed by the wind.
