Populus fremontii
Also called Alamo cottonwood, Fremont's Cottonwood, Desert Cottonwood, Frémont Cottonwood, Frémont's Cottonwood, Cottonwood
Populus fremontii, commonly known as Frémont's cottonwood, is a cottonwood native to riparian zones of the Southwestern United States and northern through central Mexico. It is one of three species in Populus sect. Aigeiros. The tree was named after 19th-century American explorer and pathfinder John C. Frémont.
The tree is native to the Southwestern United States and Mexico. In the northwestern US it is found only in the state of Idaho, but it is widespread in every state of the southwestern United States including California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. It is also native to a few locations in western Colorado as well as disjunct parts of New Mexico and far western Texas.
