Balsam Poplar vs Assiniboine Poplar
Populus x Assiniboine
Populus balsamifera
Assiniboine poplar is a tall, fast growing tree that has a shapely oval form and dense foliage. This hybrid poplar is a male clone and produces no fuzz or fluff. Assiniboine poplar can handle tough conditions such as: urban pollution, environmental salt, drought, poor soil, and even some standing water.
Balsam Poplar is a hardy, fast-growing deciduous tree that is Native to Canada east of the Rockies.
We grow them in two variations. Sometimes they are a male clones, so they don't produce fluff. Other times, we grow them from seed, which will result in fluff. The detailed descriptions (see below) will tell you which is which.
