Populus × canadensis, known as Canadian poplar or Carolina poplar, is a naturally occurring hybrid of Populus nigra and Populus deltoides. It is a vigorous, broadly columnar, deciduous tree growing to 40 m (130 ft), which is commonly used by landscape architects. Cultivars include 'Robusta' and 'Aurea' (golden poplar or golden Carolina poplar), which has won the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
