4. Poplar Trees When it comes to trees and the Utah landscape, one tree dominates the memory, the Lombardy poplar. Rows of these tall, columnar trees planted as windbreaks provide one of the most evocative images of Utah. Wallace Stegner observed: Wherever you go in the Mormon country...you see the characteristic trees, long lines of them along ditches, along streets, as boundaries between fields and farms.... These are the ‘Mormon trees,’ Lombardy poplars.
What do trees say about a people? http://history.utah.gov/experience_history/glimpses/trees.html#ordinance
Perhaps it is fanciful to judge a people by its trees. Probably the [large number] of poplars is the result of nothing more interesting than climatic conditions or the lack of other kinds of seeds and seedlings. Probably it is pure nonsense to see a reflection of Mormon group life in the fact that the poplars were practically never planted singly, but always in groups, and that the groups took the form of straight lines and ranks. Perhaps it is even more nonsensical to speculate that the straight, tall verticality of the Mormon trees appealed obscurely to the rigid sense of order of the settlers, and that a marching row of plumed poplars was symbolic, somehow, of the planter’s walking with God and his solidarity with his neighbors.  --Wallace Stegner, Utah Historian  http://history.utah.gov/experience_history/glimpses/trees.html#ordinance
An Ordinance In 1851, Salt Lake City passed an ordinance stating that “every holder of lots...are (sic) hereby required to set out in front of their lots such trees for shade... [that would] be the best calculated to adorn and improve the city.” Three years later Bishop E. D.  Woolley instructed a group of men in his ward to “see that shade trees be set sixteen feet apart around each block.” http://history.utah.gov/experience_history/glimpses/trees.html#ordinance
