Wyoming designated the plains cottonwood as official state tree in 1947. The plains cottonwood is a large, fast-growing, short-lived tree of the Great Plains and eastern border of the Rocky Mountains. Members of the willow family, cottonwoods are named for the cottonlike mass of hairs surrounding their seeds. They are related to poplars and aspens.
