Of unknown origin; perhaps a hybrid between P. balsamifera L. and P. deltoides Marshall ; it was known in cultivation before 1755, but only as female plants.
P. trichocarpa Torrey & Gray ex Hooker , Ic. Pl. t. 878 (1852), from W. North America, is also planted. It is like 6 but has truncate to subcordate leaf-bases and acutely angled twigs.
