Quaking Aspen is the most widespread native tree in North America because they are incredibly vigorous and adaptable. These hardy trees thrive where no others can in Northern Canada, which means that when planted in gentler conditions, Quaking Aspen take off growing like a rocket.

Their white bark make them quite attractive in winter, long after the leaves turn their brilliant shade of yellow and fall to the ground.
