Populus deltoides
The Eastern Cottonwood is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree native to North America, known for its impressive height and broad, spreading crown. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils, often found along rivers, streams, and floodplains. The tree features triangular, glossy green leaves that flutter in the wind, creating a soothing rustling sound. In spring, it produces cotton-like seeds that give the tree its name. Valued for its shade, wildlife habitat, and timber, the Eastern Cottonwood is a resilient and iconic species in riparian ecosystems.
