Movement Towards Spring: Tree



Here's a favorite tree down at the lake. I forget what it is...a Cottonwood cousin?



Great catkins & statuesque trunk. I.D.???

    White poplar. Lakeshore Preserve? Second choice would be big tooth aspen.

    Erik G., arborist at Bartlett, emailed: Populus deltoides, Eastern Cottonwood. This is down by the boat launch in Evanston at Dempster. Yes, love those catkins, especially against blue sky...but they photographed better on iPhone with light hitting them,
