Populus cathayana

This species, called “Manchurian poplar” in Finnish, apparently has no English common name. It is one of the group of balsam poplars with scented leaves, growing in the river valleys of its natural range into a large tree up to 30m, but remains smaller in Finland. It has rising branches and a narrow crown, with fluttering light green leaves and, like many Asian poplars, it is healthy. It does not produce root suckers.
