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.

Populus alba is a deciduous tree characterized by its wide crown and propensity to produce suckers. The leaves are rounded, featuring deep lobes with a dark green upper surface and a white, fuzzy underside. Young growth, including shoots and leaves, appears entirely white and hairy. In the fall, the foliage turns yellow. During spring, the male catkins display a red hue, while the female catkins are green.

Populus alba 'Richardii' is a deciduous tree that can reach a height of approximately 12 meters. It features lobed leaves, which are greenish-yellow on the upper side and covered in a white felt-like texture underneath. The young shoots also exhibit this white felt. In early spring, the tree produces green female catkins and red male catkins.

Populus deltoides is a sizable, rapidly growing tree that can attain heights of up to 30 meters. Its leaves are glossy, triangular, and bright green, emitting a pronounced balsam fragrance when they are young. This species produces separate male and female catkins, with lengths reaching up to 10 centimeters, appearing in early spring.

Populus deltoides 'Purple Tower' is an upright, deciduous tree known for its rapid growth and potential height of up to 30 meters, though regular annual pruning can maintain a smaller size. The leaves are glossy and triangular, displaying a deep, bronzy red-purple hue and emitting a balsam fragrance when young. In early spring, mature specimens yield red male or green female catkins.

Populus lasiocarpa is a sizable deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 20 meters. Its broad, ovate leaves can grow as long as 30 centimeters and feature noticeable crimson petioles and midribs. In spring, the tree produces yellow male catkins or green female catkins, which can extend to 25 centimeters in length.

Populus nigra is a sizable deciduous tree, reaching heights of up to 20 meters, characterized by its rounded form and rugged, deeply furrowed bark. Its leaves are glossy and shaped like diamonds, presenting a vibrant green hue. The female specimens produce yellow-green catkins that emerge before leaf development in early spring, relying on wind for pollination. Following this, they generate numerous fluffy seeds. In contrast, the male trees bear red catkins. This species is well-suited for challenging environments, including exposed areas and waterlogged soils, making it ideal for use in shelterbelts, woodlands, and parks. However, it is experiencing a decline and is considered endangered in the UK.

Populus nigra 'Italica' is a robust deciduous tree that can reach heights of up to 30 meters. It features a narrow, column-like growth habit and has bright green, ovate foliage. In early spring, before the leaves emerge, it produces crimson male catkins.
