black poplars are large and tall/deep-rooted
I two feelings:
1. The author meant to write "tall".
2. The author meant "deep-rooted".
I asked the Internet "Do black poplars have deep roots?"
It appears they do:

You cannot use "deep" on its own, though.

Arabic & More
: I think deep-rooted is a plausible explanation for this. As you mentioned, "deep" on its own is not correct.

: Only explanation I can think of; I suppose one ight assume 'tall' = above ground and 'deep' = below ground, but it still sounds a slightly odd way to express it. / Very true, indeed!

A bit vague I know, but somewhere in my murky past I discovered not all tall trees have deep roots. :(

: a rule of thumb. Trees will have a root system as extensive as the tree itself

: Can't really describe a tree as 'profuse': they may grow in profusion, or they may be covered with profuse foliage... / Yes, but epithet usage works with 'growth' etc., but is awkward with 'tree'

Hi Tony:here is profuse growth of bamboos also. The deep forests are interspersed with grasslands and the trees are covered with climbers.

Тополь черный - дерево первой величины с мощной корневой системой
Тополь чёрный — дерево первой величины, достигающее 30—35 м высоты и 1—2 м в диаметре ствола.
Корневая система хорошо разветвлена. Она включает в себя поверхностные и наклонно распространяющиеся корни, от которых отходят глубоко проникающие в почву якорные корни. При заносе самой нижней части ствола песком и илом образуются придаточные корни, формирующие в той или иной мере выраженный второй ярус. Мощная корневая система обеспечивает хороший рост всей массы дерева и вместе с тем придаёт ему высокую устойчивость в период течения паводковых вод и движения льда, а также сильных порывов ветра. Ветровал не характерен для тополя чёрного. Обладает большой способностью образовывать пнёвую поросль.

В самом деле - прения вовсю, согласны-несогласны; при этом переводов вообще никто не предлагает, а пара всё-таки En-Rus or am I missing something? Или это Asker что-то не то указал?
