Black poplar?

[Alex Doughty]

Hi guys

 

Would really appreciate some advice on the pictures attached. Do you think they could be Black Poplars? I understand that they are very rare but the bark and branch orientations seem to match with what I've read. There is a line of 5 or 6.

 

Cheers

Could be the hybrid with those pointed leaves

Thanks for the reply. Are there any other features I could look for to confirm? I've read that black poplar has elongated points to the leaves?  What do you think to the bark and branch structures?

Some hybrids can look very similar - I don't know the difference with some of them personally

From the pics i'd guess at a hybrid black, but hard to say. I'd like to fell that leaning one though ?
