What does POPLAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tall, fast-growing tree with soft light wood and flowers in drooping catkins, or the wood from it.
Poplars belong to the willow family and are planted in long rows as windbreaks and for timber, since they grow quickly even in poor soil. The Lombardy poplar, narrow and upright, is the best-known shape and lines many country roads. Poplar wood is pale and light, and it is used for matches, crates, pulp and cheap furniture. The leaves tremble in the slightest breeze, a feature behind the name of the aspen.
