| A river from the fading distance, which is one mist of collapsed aqueducts and castles, wanders between poplars and pollarded willows. |
| Yellow poplars usually produce their first flowers at 15 to 20 years of age. |
| Then sunlight breaks through, catching the tops of the snowfields on the mountains and lighting up rows of orange poplars. |
| Root competition from the huge tulip poplars, ashes, and sweet gum trees contributes significantly to the parched soil conditions. |
| Willows, elders and alders can be planted around the edges to soften the effect of the regimented poplars. |
| At Brangayne Vineyard, the leaves on the poplars are turning and there's a sharp edge of autumn in the air. |
