Trembling Aspen

Populus tremuloides
Appearance:  Round, green leaves on long stalks that flutter in even the gentlest of breezes lend Trembling Aspen its descriptive name.  It has an oval growth habit and shapely form which provides lovely shade in larger spaces.  Fall foliage is a brilliant gold.  Showy white bark with green undertones offers year-round visual interest.  Creates a natural look within the landscape.

Care and Maintenance:  The most commonly distributed deciduous tree in North America, Trembling Aspen is vigorously cold hardy and adaptable. It is indifferent to soil type/pH, and capable of handling a broad range of moisture levels, including some standing water.  Drought tolerant once established.  Best pruned in late winter, after the risk of extreme cold has passed.
