Downy poplar is a broadleaf deciduous tree species, also known as the Downy Willow-leaf Poplar or Populus heterophylla. The name comes from the trees characteristic fine, soft, hairy leaves. These trees have large, flat, heart-shaped leaves, and they produce catkin flowers in the spring. They can grow up to 20-30 meters tall and are native to Eastern and Central North America. Downy poplars are often seen in damp or water-logged soils, which is why they are commonly found near rivers and ponds.
