Balsam Poplar
Populus balsamifera
Balsam poplar is fast growing and exceptionally tall, this tree will provide shade to your yard in no time! Balsam poplar has dark green foliage and a narrower growth habit. This tree is naturally found along streams and floodplains so it can tolerate a bit of moisture. Balsam poplar is distinctive for its fragrant sticky buds that smell like balsam! Do your part to improve water quality and reduce energy needs by planting this fast grower on the west or east side of your home.
