It is easily recognized by its massive trunk, its grey-brown bark that becomes deeply furrowed with age, and its broad triangular leaves, glossy green in summer and turning bright yellow in fall. It grows in full sun in floodplains, riverbanks and alluvial zones, where the soil is deep, moist or periodically flooded. This very fast-growing tree develops a powerful root system that is ideal for stabilizing eroding banks.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eFurthermore, native poplars (\u003cem\u003ePopulus\u003c\/em\u003e spp.) are recognized as \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akene.ca\/en\/blogs\/publications-in-english\/keystone-plants-essential-pillars-of-biodiversity\" title=\"Keystone Plants: Essential Pillars of Biodiversity\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ekeystone plants\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for biodiversity in many North American ecoregions, as they support a wide variety of insects and birds that rely on their leaves, bark, and the habitats they provide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedicinal and culinary uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe buds have traditionally been used in infusions or infused oil for their antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, particularly to soothe skin or muscle irritation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEcological roles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEastern cottonwood is a major riparian species essential to biodiversity.
