2011-10-21 Lower Austria, district Schwechat (160 msm Quadrant 7865/1).Native to the habitat (and typical in habitus here) but possibly planted here, as the habitat is man-made:This is the "new" river bed of Schwechat river - the river once flew further west (crossing over to nearby Vienna); when A4 motorway was built the old river bed was cut off and so-called "Kalter Gang" (an old mill stream - side canal of old Schwechat river) was expanded to what is now lower Schwechat river bed. Of course, Populus nigra also could have conquered the new habitat without any help by humans.

People cut down several giant old poplars which produced a bumper crop of early morels (Verpa bohemica) each year, and there were several chunks of their trunks left in the place. I took these pictures. I hope that these magnificent trees will live on there as root clones.
