They are such poor excuses for trees and they're being planted everywhere across my city instead of nicer poplars and cottonwoods that are native and grow just as fast. They are scrawny, stupid columns that provide very little shade, are disease prone, and they don't do all that well in my climate. I cringe every time I have he misfortune of laying eyes upon one of those disgusting poor excuses for trees. Calgary, Alberta has plains cottonwoods and balsam poplars that are native and there are so many nicer trees especially spruces and firs that can grow here and do well. Why aren't they being planted as much anymore in favour of crap that looks bad and dies quickly? The Swedish aspens and Lombardy poplars are my least favourite trees.
