Comments:
Cottonwood is a fast growing tree that grows well in moist, fertile soils, but will perform satisfactorily in average soils that are either wet or dry. This large tree is used in parks, playgrounds and in naturalisitc settings. Wind rushing through the foliage creates a fluttering sound. In autumn, the foliage turns yellow. It is pollution and salt tolerant.
