What's category "Flora of Armenia" doing in this article? This tree is not indigenous to Armenia, can be found in most of the Caucasus. - Alsandro · T · w:ka: Th · T 11:31, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Black Poplar = Baumagillian ? Why is black poplar called baumagillian in Minnesota ? Is that name used elsewhere ? Does anyone have any history or knowledge of the name/term "Baumagillian"

[edit] Italica

the article says italica is a male clone, but I have a book on trees that states "...in Europe it is hardly known in its female form."

So does a female form of Italica exist? cheers. Bumper12 07:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

No; female plants resembling it are one of the Plantierensis group, or 'Gigantea', or perhaps other un-named clones arising from a normal Black Poplar being pollinated by an 'Italica' (ref: W J Bean, as cited in the article). - MPF 01:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Cheers for the info. Bumper12 17:55, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Medium sized" ???

I've read poplars are one of the biggest trees in Central Erope reaching more than 40 metres (it's much in this climate - planted in Great Britain they'd grow larger) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.16.132.162 (talk) 01:45, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
