Poplar trees
''Trees are poems the earth writes upon the sky, We fell them down and turn them into paper,That we may record our emptiness.'' Kahlil Gibran
Poplars in Birmingham, UK
Birmingham is a very green city and has a great number of trees. Many large trees can be found in the Southern side of the city and, apart from the odd Redwood here and there, the tallest are generally the poplars.

Very tall poplar in Longbridge, Birmingham

Poplar in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, taken in 2008. One of the tallest trees in the city, perhaps the tallest. Probably about 40+ metres tall. Still standing.
