TAXONOMY:

Black cottonwood commonly hybridizes with other members of the Tacamahaca section, such as narrowleaf cottonwood (P. angustifolia) and balsam poplar [41,83]. Balsam poplar × black cottonwood hybrids have been reported in Alaska, British Columbia, and Alberta [28,49,57,73].

Hybrids with members of the Aigeiros section are also observed. Eastern cottonwood (P. deltoides var. occidentalis) × black cottonwood hybrids have been reported near Flathead Lake, Montana [69], and Fremont cottonwood (P. fremontii) × black cottonwood hybrids (P. × parryi Sarg.) [86] grow in California [35]. Black cottonwood has also hybridized with black poplar (P. nigra), a Eurasian species [41]. Intersectional hybridization does not occur beyond the F₁ generation in most cases, but this type of introgression probably occurred in the past where the ranges of eastern and western species overlap [41].
