Salicaceae
Populus deltoides 'Siouxland'
Cottonless Cottenwood, Eastern Cottonwood, Siouxland Cottonwood
Developed in South Dakota, this male cultivar lacks the pesky cottony seeds of female cottonwoods but retains the upright spreading vase-like habit and rapid growth of this widespread North American native. It grows rapidly into a massive tree. The large shiny pale green triangular leaves turn yellow in fall. They are resistant to leaf rust. This tree is susceptible to damage from wind and heavy snow.
Like most of its clan this tree likes sun and moist well-drained soil and is an aggressive rooter, sending out a dense network of water seeking fibrous roots that can clog water lines. It’s best reserved for windbreaks and shelterbelts, parks, open spaces, ranches and greenbelts and other places where its size, toughness and vigor are assets.
