Abstract
The present study has been conducted to investigate whether the introduced P. x euramericana hybridise spontaneously with native P. nigra. This study results in new insights in the reproductive strategy of Populus nigra. The results have important implications for in situ conservation and restoration programmes of the European Black poplar.
