I think your speaking of TT32 or Populus TT32 roiphil.
Its a tree often used in windbreaks.

You will be able to purchase them over the upcoming bareroot planting season.
Any garden centre worth their salt will get them in for you.
the may also be listed on their cataloges as Populus "Balsam Spire" or Tacatricho 32.

To describe them.
A hybrid........yes
They are extremely rapid growing narrow trees.
Their leaf has a green upper and white underside.
In Spring the leaf buds produce a balsam scent, hence the name.
They are reputed to be resistant to canker, which many poplars suffer from.
Unfortunately not resistant to goats though. Wink

Hope you track some TT32's down and it works out for you roiphil.
