Aspen (Quaking Aspen) -  Populus tremuloides -  A tall columnar habit with a light shade cast, these pretty relatives of the poplar are the subjects of numerous legends because their leaves never seem to remain still, even on the calmest of days.  The bark is green with a white cast.  A good tree for wooded sections or groupings.  Hardy to -50F (-45.5C);  height: 50-60ft.

Eastern Cottonwood - Populus deltoides - Native from Quebec to Florida on the North American continent, it is a tall stately specimen with a medium width crown.  Used for hundreds of years as a shade tree, it is losing popularity due to the contracting size of housing lots and because of its seeds, which are accompanied by an abundance of cottony fluff that blows about - thus the name Cottonwood.
