I'm attempting to get familiar with trees on our property which is in the Boreal forests of Estonia. So far I think I can identify birch, aspen, oak, and spotted alder.
We've got a stand where there are a lot of these (in the following winter photos) which I would love to know what they are.
My guess from bark, leaf, and habit is some sort of poplar, perhaps a hybrid or a close relative of Populus balsamifera and P. trichocarpa in North America. If I'm correct, the buds should be a bit sticky, and likely aromatic when crushed.
