I noticed I have this tree in my yard and it grew from a seed. Some people said its a poplar but I don't think they are right. Its so confusing with this tree.I have seen poplars before and the have silver on one side.
looks like black cottonwood. (western common name) http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/library/documents/treebook/blackcottonwood.htm
I think your right but they the grow native here. Im in ontario and I see these all the time. They said that they are native to british columbia. Thanks.
