<\/b>Populus deltoides<\/i>, the eastern cottonwood<\/b>, is a cottonwood<\/font><\/a> poplar<\/font><\/a> native to <\/font>North America<\/font><\/a>, growing throughout the eastern, central, and southwestern <\/font>United States<\/font><\/a>, the southernmost part of eastern <\/font>Canada<\/font><\/a>, and northeastern <\/font>Mexico<\/font><\/a>.[<\/span>1]<\/span><\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n

Populus deltoides<\/i> is a large <\/font>tree<\/font><\/a> growing to 20\u201340 m (67\u2013130 ft) tall and with a trunk up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) diameter, one of the largest North American <\/font>hardwood<\/font><\/a> trees. The <\/font>bark<\/font><\/a> is silvery-white, smooth or lightly fissured when young, becoming dark gray and deeply fissured on old trees. The twigs are grayish-yellow and stout, with large triangular leaf scars. The winter buds are slender, pointed, 1\u20132 cm long (.039\u20130.79 inches), yellowish brown, and resinous.<\/font><\/div>\n
The <\/font>leaves<\/font><\/a> are large, deltoid (triangular), 4\u201310 cm (1.6\u20133.9 inches) long and 4\u201311 cm (1.6\u20134.3 inches) broad with a truncated (flattened) base and a petiole 3\u201312 cm (1.2\u20134.7 inches) long. The leaf is very coarsely toothed, the teeth are curved and gland tipped, and the petiole is flat; they are dark green in the summer and turn yellow in the fall (but many cottonwoods in dry locations drop their leaves early from the combination of drought and leaf rust, making their fall color dull or absent). Due to the flat stem of the leaf, the leaf has the tendency to shake from even the slightest breeze. This is one of the identifying characteristics.[<\/span>2]<\/span><\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font><\/div>\n
It is <\/font>dioecious<\/font><\/a>, with the <\/font>flowers<\/font><\/a> (<\/font>catkins<\/font><\/a>) produced on single-sex trees in early spring. The male (pollen) catkins are reddish-purple and 8\u201310 cm (2.1\u20133.9 inches) long; the female catkins are green, 7\u201313 cm (2.8\u20135.1 inches) long at pollination, maturing 15\u201320 cm (6.9\u20137.9 inches) long with several 6\u201315 mm (0.24\u20130.59 inches) seed capsules in early summer, which split open to release the numerous small <\/font>seeds<\/font><\/a> attached to <\/font>cotton<\/font><\/a>-like strands.[<\/span>3]<\/span><\/font><\/a><\/sup>[<\/span>4]<\/span><\/font><\/a><\/sup>[<\/span>5]<\/span><\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>\u00a0\n<\/div>\n
It needs bare soil and full sun for successful germination and establishment; in natural conditions, it usually grows near <\/font>rivers<\/font><\/a>, with mud banks left after <\/font>floods<\/font><\/a> providing ideal conditions for seedling germination; human soil cultivation has allowed it to increase its range away from such habitats.[<\/span>5]<\/span><\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>\u00a0<\/div>\n

Populus deltoides<\/i> Bartram ex Marshall is a large deciduous tree, generally 30-45 m high; leaf margin coarsely crenate with very curved sinuses, broadly cordate at base. Leaf blades broadly deltoid-ovate to ovate or ovate-cordate. Mature leaves are enough for identification of this species.<\/font><\/font><\/div>\n
This species<\/font> is popularly known as Caroline Poplar<\/b> being the native of South Carolina of North America<\/font>. <\/span><\/div>\n

It is Populus<\/i>, possibly P. deltoides<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Populus deltoides<\/i> Bartram ex Marshall<\/div>\n
This is a giant deciduous tree<\/font>, very common in Illinois.<\/font> <\/div>\n
During early to mid-summer, the fruits split open to release their seeds. Each fruit releases about 30-50 seeds with cottony hairs. That is why it is also called Eastern Cottonwood<\/b>. The seeds are distributed by the wind and can travel several hundred feet in the air. They also float on water and can travel downstream.<\/font>\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Eastern Cottonwood\/ABDEC13<\/a> : 2 posts by 2 authors.<\/div>\n

This tall tree is growing near my home and before yesterday, I had assumed it to be a Poplar. Picking up a fallen leaf and researching a bit I found it in Krishen’s book ‘Trees of Delhi’ (p.105). The leaf is almost flat at the bottom edge and is triangular (an equilateral, typical of Eastern Cottonwood). <\/font>Can you make out the flat leaf stalk at the joint just above my thumb?<\/div>\n

Characteristics:<\/u><\/div>\n
Medium sized tree\/ Fairly straight without much side branches.<\/font><\/div>\n
Abundance of barks (fairly light-colored) on trunk.<\/font><\/div>\n
No flowers\/ inflorescence. At least not visible. May be not mature enough.<\/div>\n
No milky sap (unlike the tell-tale of\u00a0Moraceae<\/i><\/a>\/ Ficus<\/i> genus)<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This would be a help if habit pics and locality are revealed..<\/p>\n
Yet, see for Populus<\/i> sp.<\/p>\n
\n

My initial thoughts were the same. Some kind of a poplar. But but but, in Pune?
Do they survive the harsh summers of the near-tropical region? The trees in question are already 10 to 12 years old, with a height of over 15 meters. <\/font>Also there are no catkins or (visible) flowers. I am baffled. Please help.<\/p>\n

\n

Pl. post actual images of the tree. It may help.<\/p>\n

\n

Here are some photographs of the tree in question:\u00a06 images.<\/p><\/div>\n

Help appreciated much. Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n

Pl. check Populus deltoides<\/i><\/font><\/a><\/p>\n

\n
Certainly looks like this poplar “Populus deltoides<\/i>“. But the absence of any catkins stumps me. At what stage of growth do they produce catkins? Also, can they flourish in Pune’s semi-tropical climate? The office I work has at-least 20 trees like this, of fairly good growth (around 12 to 15 meters height)<\/font><\/div>\n
Thanks for your help profoundly.<\/div>\n
