In addition to the root problems poplars present, they're also the messiest, dirtiest trees around. They drip sap that destroys driveways and vehicles, the stickers they drop are a royal pain, especially with pets, poplar fuzz is wicked for people with allergies and they're among the worst trees for making a mess with their leaves in the fall.
