Quaking Aspen

Quaking Aspen is a native American tree adapted to cold regions and a great choice for a quick growing and hardy tree to start your garden and fill in while other trees develop. It will grow 4 to 6 feet a year and quickly form its beautiful white trunk. Before you know it you will have a beautiful tree in your yard. This tree is known for the beauty of its white bark and for the graceful way the leaves flutter in the slightest breeze. It will turn a lovely yellow in fall, sometimes with pink flushes as well. It will grow in the coldest, most exposed locations and at high altitude, so it is a great starter tree to give some protection for later tree planting.
