Tower Poplar Trunk

The Tower Poplar’s trunk is lighter colored than the native Poplars in the area. These fast growing Hybrid Poplars are good for windbreaks, but are not as easy to propagate from stem cuttings as other Poplars.

Cottonwood Last Stages of Life

There is a Cottonwood tree that has been slowly dying over the years. It has interesting features to briefly check out.  I don’t stand under this tree long, as occasionally large limbs fall from high above.

Cottonwood Clouds

The largest tree on this Oasis is the Cottonwood(Populus deltoides) below: Yet the tall clouds put the tree’s height in perspective.

Yellow Tree Leaves

Some trees look like they are flowering in the Summer months with their bright leaves. This Poplar leaf is as colorful as any.

Sturdy and Strong

Encountered a big cottonwood tree on our hike. The poplar tree is 17 feet in circumference and has a large crown.

Too Sunny?

You may need your sunglasses on when you look at this tree: This young tree has some bright, intense yellow leaves, soaking up the Sun’s rays literally.   What is interesting that on the undersides of the leaves, it is a frosty, white color.  Two opposites do attract for this tree.
