To be technical, it's "Salicaceae Populus deltoides John Bartram ex Humphry Marshall"
The Eastern Cottonwood was first identified, researched, and propagated by John Bartram and Humphry Marshall, both from Pennsylvania during hte 1700s.
Both were Quaker farmers, botanists, and horticulturalists in Pennsylvania near the Delaware River. Bartram is regarded as the "Father of Botany" in what now is the USA. He worked alongside Ben Franklin.
Bartram had the firt botanical garden in this country, and his cousin Marshall - the second.
In 1785, Marshall published "Arboretum Americanum: the American Grove, an Alphabetical Catalogue of Forest Trees and Shrubs, Natives of the American United States"
I have a copy, and it's one of the first comprehensive tree books for this country.

As to easy propagation? Not this tree. Generally speaking, yes it supposed to be easy. But trees have individual characteristics, just like people. That's why tree species have so many cultivars identified, and the lists keep growing. Each tree can be slightly different, just as one tree can differ over time as it ages.
