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 x canadensis 'Eugenei' is a rapidly expanding deciduous tree that can reach heights of approximately 25 meters within two decades. It features a narrow, column-like form with broadly triangular, tapering leaves that have bluntly serrated margins. When the leaves first emerge, they display a copper hue, transitioning to glossy green as they mature. In the spring, this variety produces slender male catkins adorned with red anthers.

Populus x generosa is a substantial hybrid tree, reaching heights of 25 to 30 meters, characterized by its expansive crown. This species exhibits rapid growth rates, with young specimens capable of adding up to 2 meters in height annually. The leaves, which are rounded to triangular in shape, are notably large on younger trees; they display a vibrant green hue above and a downy, greyish-white underside, turning yellow in the fall. In spring, the male catkins appear red while the female catkins are green.
