	Spanish Word of the Day Wednesday, June 17, 2015 Yesterday's Word - Previous Words - Help álamo, noun poplar The Spanish word álamo means poplar in English. The old fort in Texas was named Los Alamos after a grove of cottonwood trees which grew there. The cottonwood tree (populus deltiodes) is related to the poplar. The prairie was often a hostile environment, so a cottonwood tree was a welcome sight to the pioneers. It provided much needed shade and wood for cooking and it also meant that there was probably water nearby. Content By © HarperCollins Publishers Ltd 2006. All rights reserved.
