[QUOTE="Dylan Biggs, post: 874357, member: 14282"] Gale, yes the white fluff are seeds of the poplar tree, Balsam Poplar, the female. A quote I found "Balsam poplar trees (Populus balsamifera), like aspen poplar trees (Populus tremuloides) a couple of weeks prior in the season, shed their seeds each summer. The female plants only, produce pods that split open and release minute seeds attached to long white hairs, or fluff. This fluff is dispersed by the wind and carries the seeds over large areas." This year with all our early rain the seedset was huge. I have never seen so much. At the peak when the wind would pick up it looked like it was snowing, heavily. Glad you enjoyed the pics.
