To the right, and nearer the viewer, stands a Lombardy poplar, with its distinctive fastigiate habit (branches upright and branched together), to the left beyond the bandstand can be seen a native black poplar; they are both coming into leaf in late April. Both are subspecies of the black poplar, Populus nigra.
