The White Poplar flourishes beside rivers, in marshes and in other watery areas. The pith is 
star shaped. The upper leaves are green, the underside is silver. The wood was used in the 
making of shields. Leaves move with every puff of wind. It is commonly referred to as the 
talking, whispering and quivering tree. The Poplar's ability to resist and to shield, its 
association with speech, language and the Winds indicates an ability to endure and conquer.
