Populus × tomentosa, commonly known as Chinese white poplar or Peking poplar, is a species of tree in the family Salicaceae.[2] It is found across northern and eastern China, and has been introduced to the US state of Louisiana.

Populus × tomentosa is a large tree.[3] The species has strong resistance to many diseases and insects.[4] It also plays key roles in shelterbelts and urban afforestation in northern China.[4]

Populus × tomentosa has long been suspected to be a hybrid, but its exact parents remain unknown.[4]

Populus × tomentosa has relatively more fibrous roots than other trees.[5]

Distribution

Populus × tomentosa is found across northern and eastern China, and has been introduced to the US state of Louisiana.[1][6] It is distributed between sea level and 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) in China.[7]
