Populus euphratica, also known as the Euphrates poplar, is a deciduous tree in the willow family. It can grow up to 15 meters tall and has a bent and forked stem with thick, olive-green bark. The leaves are highly variable in shape and the flowers are borne as catkins. This species is found naturally in a wide range, from North Africa to western China, and can be found in dry temperate and subtropical forests. It is an important component of Tugay floodplain ecosystems and is tolerant of saline and brackish water. The Euphrates poplar is used for various purposes such as fodder for livestock, timber, and afforestation programs. Its bark also has medicinal properties. However, its forests have been greatly reduced due to human activities.
