Sadly, there is no way to stop it totally. Your best bet would be Florel. It will reduce seed production (cotton). You will likely have to hire a professional arborist to do the job, but it may be worth it to keep from being buried in cotton every spring. Timing is important, hence the recommendation for the arborist, plus they have the necessary equipment to adequately cover the trees. This will cut the cotton down 20-85% if done right.

When does cottonwood tree stop producing cotton?
Each year, the cottonwood tree begins releasing the cotton from its branches at the beginning of June, and it lasts through the month until the end of June. A mature cottonwood tree never stops producing the cotton pods, however there are reports from some homeowners that the trees sometimes skip every 10th year. We bought our house in the early Spring of 1997. That year, there was no cotton. Again in 2007, no cotton. But every year in between and since, we've had cotton. I can't wait until 2017!
Can cloth be made from cottonwood tree cotton?
Yarn can be spun from cottonwood fibers which can then be knit or crocheted into clothing. The issue with cottonwood fibers is that they are much shorter than regular cotton fibers, which can make spinning them more difficult. Combining cottonwood fibers with regular cotton and spinning them together into yarn can help facilitate creating yarns from them more easily. Yarn from cottonwood is typically only produced by hobbyists, who claim that it is strong and has a mild lustre.
