A poplar at the Banias site

From the Northern Landscapes series by Uzi Pazzapza. Populus is one of two types of plants in the Arabite family. There are about forty poplar species that are common mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Poplar was mentioned once in the book of Ezekiel in the parable of the vine as a tree that has an affinity for water. There is no clear tradition in the ancient translations to identify the poplar, but according to the Hazquotl tradition, as also accepted by the commentators and most researchers, it is one of the willow species Salix or Populus.
