Common (Translated Scientific) Name: Exotic Western Hardwood Planted Woodland Cultural Type

Hierarchy Level: Cultural Type
Type Concept: This type includes stands of abandoned planted non-native trees or escaped stands. Some species may be native to other parts of the U.S., but are not native in the West. These species include Populus deltoides (in areas where Populus balsamifera is the native cottonwood), Populus alba, Robinia pseudoacacia, and other escapees that require a moist setting to survive in the arid western U.S. They may be in yards of abandoned houses or along roadsides, lakeshores, canyon bottoms and riparian areas, usually not too far from settlements and towns.
