Cover Story: Poplars and aspens (Populus L. spp.) are undervalued options for use in managed landscapes. The genus comprises a multitude of taxa often negatively associated with disease susceptibility and short lifespans; however, it also hosts a diverse range of abiotic stress tolerances. The objective of this study was to generate a relative scale of the predicted drought tolerance of Populus spp. to inform site and taxon selection in managed settings. Utilizing vapor pressure osmometry, this study examined seasonal osmotic adjustment and predicted leaf water potential at the turgor loss point (Ψpo) among several Populus taxa. The results indicate that drought tolerance varies widely among Populus species and hybrids; bigtooth aspen and Chinese aspen are the best suited to tolerating drought in managed landscapes.
