Populus × canadensis, known as Canadian poplar or Carolina poplar, is a naturally occurring hybrid of Populus nigra and Populus deltoides.[2] It is a vigorous, broadly columnar, deciduous tree growing to 40 m (130 ft), which is commonly used by landscape architects. Cultivars include 'Robusta'[3] and 'Aurea' (golden poplar [4] or golden Carolina poplar), which has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[5][6]
