[Lombardy poplars were a common tree planted in wNfld. communities, such as Woody Point; these populations are now dying out and no natural regeneration has been observed.  European taxonomic databases (e.g.: Kew’s Plants of the World Online, recognize this taxon at the forma level, not as an accepted variety.]
