"Fruit" does not necessarily mean something like apples and cherries. In the case of the balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera) the fruit is a thin capsule covering for the seed, so is no flesh, but there is a cottony mass so that the seed can be more easily dispersed by the wind.
Balsam poplars typically grow in moist to wet soils, often along riverbanks or in marshy areas. They prefer full sun and tolerate a wide range of soil types, as long as the soil is consistently moist. Balsam poplars are commonly found in temperate regions with a cool climate.
There are two main kinds or balsam trees:balsam poplars, a deciduous tree, and balsam fir, which is evergreen.Balsam poplars belong to the genus Populus and there are ten species belonging to that genus.
