Poplars do start to have a few yellow leaves here and there in july. All of the (very healthy, all 24" +) poplars in my yard have yellow leaves here and there with the green right now. I'm no expert, but I guess they just use up the useful lifespan of those leaves quicker. Maybe b/c they grow faster than other trees....????????????Don't know.

i have some 60 ft poplars way out back and they are shedding alot of leaves now. i'm not sure if it's because of lack of rain or just the cycle they go thru....i never paid too much attention.
