Populus deltoides (Eastern Cottonwood) is one
of the largest North American hardwood trees, although the wood is
rather soft. It is a riparian zone tree. It occurs throughout the
eastern United States and in extreme southern Canada. The leaves
are alternate and simple, with coarsely-toothed (crenate/serrate)
edges, and subcordate at the base. The leaf shape is roughly
triangular, hence the species name,
deltoides.
One of the largest trees in
Minnesota.
