Species of cottonwood poplar native to much of North America; it is known in three subspecies. It is one of the largest North American hardwood trees, growing to nearly 30 meters (100 feet) in height.

Species of hardy, medium-sized poplar tree native to cool temperate regions of Europe and Asia, including the British Isles. The bark is pale greenish-gray, smooth on young trees with dark grey diamond-shaped lenticels. It turns darker and fissured on old trees. The leaves are especially liable to the tremulous motion common to all poplars, thus the name of the species; leaves have an unpleasant taste that discourages denuding by fallow deer. The wood has large, evenly-distributed pores that produce a soft fibrous texture, making it valuable for only limited use.

Species of tall, fast-growing tree native to cooler areas of North America. The name refers to the tendency of leaves to tremble or quake in even a slight breeze due to their flattened petioles. It is most easily distinguished from a similar European species, P. tremula, by the shape of its leaves, which have more pointed tips, and by growing via root suckers: it propagates itself primarily through root sprouts, and extensive clonal colonies are common. The leaves are food for various insects. A substance in the bark was extracted by Native Americans and the pioneers of the American West as a quinine substitute. The soft, weak wood is used as paper pulp and for other purposes.

Species of very large deciduous trees native to northwestern North America; planted elsewhere as an ornamental. In some classifications, a subspecies of Populus balsamifera. Noted as the first tree species for which the genome was sequenced. Used for timber and for extracts from the fragrant buds for use in perfume, medicines, and cosmetics. Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest used the inner bark as food and medicine, the anti-inflammatory, salicin, content making it useful for treating wounds and other purposes. The wood, roots, and bark were used for firewood, canoes, rope making, fish traps, baskets, and structures. The gum-like sap was used as glue and waterproofing.
