Populus ciliata<\/span> (Himalayan Poplar<\/b>), is a large <\/span>deciduous<\/span><\/a> tree with tall clean straight trunk and wide rounded crown.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The bark of the young trees is smooth greenish-grey and the bark of the old trees is dark brown with vertical cracks. Leaves are broadly ovate with serrulate-crenate and hairy margins.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> Flowers are drooping <\/span>raceme<\/span><\/a> catkins<\/span><\/a> appear before or with leaves.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> Populus ciliata<\/i> flowers are dioecious, individual flowers are either male or female. <\/span>Perianth<\/span><\/a> of male flowers is bell-shaped and female flowers are bluntly toothed. Their capsule encloses an average of 100\u2013150 seeds, which are covered by long silky hair.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Populus ciliata<\/i> prefers moist cool places and grows in sandy, loamy, and clay soil.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> It grows well in acidic or neutral soil conditions.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> Shade inhibits the growth of P. ciliata<\/i>.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Populus ciliata<\/i> is a dioecious tree which is pollinated by the wind.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> The fruits grow in about 3 months after pollination.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> Seed dispersal takes place from about the middle of June to the middle of July depending upon the climate.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup> It can reproduce through seed and vegetative means.[3]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Populus ciliata<\/i> is chopped for food and stored to be fed to livestock during the times of food shortage.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Populus ciliata<\/i> is used as fuel wood.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Populus ciliata<\/i> wood is used for making boxes for packing purposes, also for poles, trucks and barrow-trays, coaches, furniture and cross-beams.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Populus ciliata<\/i> provides paper for writing, wrapping and printing.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span><\/div>\n
Bark is used to make tonic, stimulants and blood purifier. The paste of the bark when mixed with the ash of cow dung can be used to treat muscular swellings.[1]<\/span><\/a><\/sup><\/span>

This is the most common species of Populus in India.<\/span> It is also known as Himalayan Poplar<\/b>.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Populus ciliata<\/i> Wall. <\/b>ex Royle<\/div>\n
Large deciduous tree, generally 20-25 m high. Leaves alternate, simple; blades ovate, broadly ovate to ovate-cordate, 8-19 x 6.5-11.5 cm, closely and irregularly crenate-serrulate;. Catkin solitary, axillary, appearing before the leaves.. Male catkins slender, cylindric, pendulous, lax-flowered; male flowers: pedicellate; stamens many; filaments 1.2-1.8 mm long, glabrous,. Female catkins longer than the male catkins, 14-29 cm long, pendulous, lax-flowered, sessile; female flowers: pedicellate; ovary ovoid, 4-4.5 mm long, greenish, glabrous, sessile; style 3, distinct; stigmas 3-4-lobed, variously lobed. Infructescence 10-17 cm long, lax; capsules ovoid-conical, 3-4-valved, brown, glabrous; seeds many, ellipsoid, 1-1.5 mm long, with tufts of persistent and spreading hairs from base.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Fl.:<\/span><\/span><\/b>March-April; Frt.: <\/b>June.
\n<\/span><\/span>Distribution: <\/span><\/span><\/b>INDIA (Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Sikkim, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh); NEPAL; BHUTAN; MYANMAR; CHINA; PAKISTAN; AFGHANISTAN.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

P.ciliata<\/i> is also a temperate tree here in Uttarakhand.
\nUnusually, seedlings\/ saplings of this species were recorded by one of my friend above 4000m altitude in Valley of Flowers. Usually it occurs in 2000-3000m altitude range. Some people associate this occurrence at or above 4000m with upward creep of plants due to global warming.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

I think, think this is P. balsamifera
\n<\/i>…, Kindly go through. It was cultivated but now has become naturalized.<\/span> Often insect infested and forms unique type of galls looking like insect larvae.<\/span><\/p>\n
