I had this weird moment then, remembering right back to my childhood and reading, or being told, that a black poplar is so called because it isn't a white poplar! Specifically, that the white poplar had white hairs/furry stuff on the undersides of leaves, and the black poplar doesn't. I've no idea whether this is true... does this make me a reply guy???? Oh dear! (Looks like there may be a grain of truth in it, but not the whole truth! http://webidguides.com/_templates/treegroup_populus.html#White%20Poplar)
