Angled stem of Eastern Cottonwood



Eastern cottonwood has interesting ribbed (angled) stems. I saw
these trees growing in a flat area by power lines. This area
had to be scarified to install the power lines. The buds are
red and lay flat against the stem.

The stems have grown tall in just a few years. Cottonwood is one of the fastest growing trees
