Kanidasbeemden

The Canada poplar (Populus ×canadensis or Populus canadensis(x), synonym: Populus ×americana (Dode)) is a species of poplar in the section Aegiros (Aegiros). The Canada poplar is a cross (nothospecies) between Populus nigra, the black poplar, and Populus deltoides, the American poplar. It originated in France around 1750. Hybrids of Populus ×canadensis with Populus nigra and those of Populus nigra with subspecies of Populus deltoides are also considered to be Canada poplar. 

The Canadian poplar is in North Brabant, where it has been planted in large quantities in the vicinity of Schijndel for, among other things, the clog industry, also known by the dialectical name Kanidas. In Belgium, wood produced there is often used for the production of matches.
