It is wise to plant poplars in large gardens. They grow rapidly, and if sited near buildings may undermine foundations and block drains.
You can usually find either willows, aspens, cottonwoods or poplars along any stream, lake or mountain meadow. Botanically, the Willow family consists of bushes and trees with simple, alternate leaves.
Oaks (Quercus) are the preferred host, though other susceptible species include apple (Malus), alder (Alnus), aspen (Populus), basswood or linden (Tilia), hawthorns (Crataegus) and willows (Salix) are also damaged.
