Is this Populus balsamifera?

[kentjames]

Hi all,

 

Can anyone confirm if this this Populus balsamifera? it certainly looks like it to me but could do with confirmation / second opinion?

 

Sorry about the whole tree pic, the trees are the one covered in ivy and the bare bark tree next to it - and yes there is a silver birch in between

 

Thanks

James

Looks typical of tt32. Hybrid of balsamifera and trichocarpa (sp).

It does look like TT32

 

Mitchell's guide - 'T.T. 32 is a hybrid of Western Balsam Poplar (Populus trichocarpa) and Eastern Balsam Poplar (Populus tacamahaca)'

 

Hillier's Manual calls the tree 'Balsam Spire' (P. T.T. 32) (Populus tacatricho 32)

 

One of these days a Hybrid Poplar expert (aka weirdo) will appear on arbtalk and tell us how to make a guaranteed ID on TT32
