+1Cottonwood would be my guess.
I agree. Looks like I need more coffee! And it's in the poplar/cottonwood family, but not the cottonwood I know either.. Populus grandidentata, also known as bigtooth aspen.Can't really tell by the pic, but it looks like a White Poplar to me.
The closer up picture of the leaves doesn't look quite like cottonwood to me; the leaves would maybe be a little more triangular shaped. Deltoid shaped if you wish. Cottonwood is Populus deltoides. But definitely a poplar; could still be cottonwood. Cottonwood gets to being a big tree.
Where is it located? That can be an important clue.
Maybe they meant which part of the world are you located?On a side of a hill that was cleared of trees about 3 years ago. I took a look at some pictures and it could be it. Just seems like a giant weedy bush to me at this point. Well there is a lot of them. I guess I will know in the fall and see if the leaves fall off. Thank you for your help/
