Description

Latin Name: Populus Nigra  L.

Origin Country: Poland

Populus nigra, commonly known as the Black Poplar, is a deciduous tree species native to Europe, parts of Asia, and North Africa. The tree is known for its dark, rough bark and triangular to diamond-shaped leaves that turn yellow in autumn. Black Poplar is often used for timber production, as its wood is light and soft, making it suitable for furniture, paper, and other wood products. The buds and leaves of Black Poplar have been used in folk medicine and traditional practices, sometimes brewed into a tea. Also Poplar bark may be used in smoking meat production due to its light and aromatic qualities. The taste is tending to be mild, slightly bitter with a subtle, earthy or woody flavour.
