Populus x canescens is the scientific name of Grey Poplar, a colossal tree. Although late June, the grey-white felted undersides of the leaves can be seen; also the distinctive diamond-shaped pits in the pale bark of the upper bole. The hybrid nature of the tree (White Poplar, Populus alba x Aspen, Populus tremula) is reflected in the shape of the wavy-edged round leaves.
