Family: Salicaceae	vPlants Resources The Morton Arboretum Characteristics: intermediate between the parents. Similar species: No information at this time. Habitat and ecology: Rarely seen in the Chicago Region. Has been found in a degraded prairie. Notes: Populus species as a whole are subject to many diseases and insect pests, such as canker and tent caterpillars, which often kill the tree or make it unattractive. These risks, in conjunction with a water-hungry root system, have made the Populus species less desirable for landscape use. Etymology: Populus is the Latin word for poplar.
