White poplar

The white poplar (Populus tremuloides) is a deciduous tree native to northern and eastern Parania where it is referred by the name aspen. The trees have thin, white trunks scarred with black that range up to 25 meters tall with glossy green leaves that turn golden in fall. The tree is a common icon of Podochovia and central Cheskachena. Their more westerly (and lesser known) counterpart, the common western aspen, turns red in fall, whereas the white poplar turns golden. 
== Description ==
White poplars colonies are called "white poplar parklands" which supports habitat for a wide range of wildlife including steppe deer, mound-building mice, falsents, raccoon dogs, eastern pipistrelles, steppe moose, eastern mute swans, rabbits, squirrels, and the now endangered mountain leopards. Plants found in the understory of these parklands include the southeastern spiceberry, the common pasqueflower, the red dogwood, the haskap, the common yarrow, the fireweed, the red baneberry, the wild rose, the shiny cotoneaster, the alder-leaf shadbush, and the prairie smoke. 
=== Distribution ===
The white poplar is found in much of Parania east of Apelchem, north of northern Nalvano and Silegre, east of Chuliana and south of northern Cheskachena.
