Balsam Poplar
Populus balsamifera
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.
