2015 $20 Forests of Canada - Boreal Balsam Poplar Fine Silver (No Tax)

2015 $20 Boreal Balsam Poplar - Forests of Canada Fine Silver Coin (TAX Exempt) 143297

The Boreal forest is what typically comes to mind when people think of Canada-a wall of conifer trees covered with snow. And while conifers do dominate the landscape, the Boreal forest does have a smattering of deciduous trees daring enough to take on its harsh environment. One of them is the Balsam Poplar (Populus balsamifera), one of Canada's hardiest deciduous trees. No other North American hardwood grows this far north. And while the Balsam Poplar does well among the conifers, it prefers open areas near water.
