poplar
Tall, trembling deciduous
A poplar is a fast-growing deciduous tree with soft wood and triangular or heart-shaped leaves that flutter in the slightest breeze.
Poplars are common in temperate regions and include cottonwoods and aspens.
The wood is used for paper pulp, plywood, and cheap furniture.
A row of Lombardy poplars lined the driveway.
