Populus grandidentata

Populus grandidentata is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to North America, found mostly in the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada.Seeds viability is high (around 80%) but despite this and the sheer number of seeds produced (a mature tree can produce over 1 million per season), very few actually end up germinating due to their short viability (two weeks), natural growth inhibitor, and high likelihood of landing in spots unsuitable for germination, which must be done on the surface of moist soil.[4] Bigtooth aspens are dioecious, medium-sized deciduous trees with straight trunks and gently ascending branches.The range of Populus grandidentata extends from Virginia north to Maine and Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia; west to southeastern Manitoba and Minnesota; south through Iowa to extreme northeastern Missouri; and east through Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and West Virginia.In the Great Lakes Region at the turn of the 20th century, many mature pine forests were logged and burned.[7] The wood weighs 27 pounds (12 kg) per foot and is light-colored, straight-grained, fine-textured, and soft.Minor uses include log homes, pallets, boxes, match splints, chopsticks, hockey stick components, and ladders.
