What kind of trees are these?

As seen near my house in Utah. Beautifully tall. Natural barrier-like trees. Love ’em. What kind are they?

You’ll need a closer picture maybe of some leaves or more sun but if I had to guess (and I could be very wrong) I’d say they are lombardy poplars probably planted on purpose as a barrier. They are really popular here although I am 99% sure they are not native. If you get up close and they look like some kind of cottonwood tree (poplar) then they are probably/for sure a lombardy based on shape.

I’d have to vote for Lombardy Poplar. Looks just like what my parents’ neighbors planted.

They are usually a cotton tree of some sort and they suck in the spring when they have cotton blowing everywhere.
