Canadian Poplar is listed by The Northwest Nursery Co. as a hardy poplar for prairie planting, especially windbreaks near Valley City, North Dakota. The catalog says it had recently become a leading choice among Northwestern planters and was being planted in larger quantities than any other variety in the region. [S1]
The source gives no fruit description, parentage, breeder, release date, or taxonomic detail. It treats Canadian Poplar as a forest, shade, or shelterbelt tree, not as an edible fruit cultivar. [S1]
Its main value is shelter. The tree is described as quick to establish, easy to plant, and fast enough to make an effective windbreak. [S1]
The strongest hardiness claim is direct: the catalog says Canadian Poplar had proved hardy beyond question and could withstand drought and cold winters. This comes from a North Dakota nursery catalog for prairie and northwestern planting conditions, not from modern zone language. [S1]
No parentage or later breeding use is given. The page also discusses other poplars and willows, including hybrid poplar material, but the packet does not identify Canadian Poplar as a specific hybrid or link it to named parents. [S1]
