Deciduous tree of the genus Populus, or cottonwood trees of the willow family Salicaceae. When ripe, the feathery seeds borne on elongated clusters are blown far and wide by the wind. Balsam poplar P. balsamifera and eastern cottonwood P. deltoides are native to North America. Eurasian white poplar P. alba and Lombardy poplar P. nigra are grown widely as ornamentals. Aspens belong to the same genus.
