Populus (Poplar)
Poplars have distinctively shaped leaves and are highly valued for fast growth. They are known for their ability to colonize disturbed areas, making them ideal for reforestation and restoration of habitats. Many aspen species reproduce through both seeds and clonal growth. A single tree can give rise to a colony of genetically identical trees connected by a shared root system, creating expansive groves.
