Boreal Balsam Polar
The reverse features the mountainous western reach of the boreal forest with a Balsam Poplar in the foreground growing in its preferred habitat - an open space near water. Only a single branch is visible in this design, and it is beautifully crafted in colour to highlight the textural qualities of the tree’s bark, its emerging springtime buds and the delicate colouration of its red catkins. These drooping, cylinder-shaped flower clusters are designed for cross-pollination. Male flowers are redwhile female flowers are yellow, much larger, and grow on separate trees.
