Quaking Aspen is a rugged Rocky Mountain native that commonly lives 50-years to 60-years. A highly adaptable tree, high winds and freezing temperatures won't faze it. The slightest breeze sets its foliage aflutter, making the tree look like it is quaking. Its light green leaves turn a fetching yellow or orange in fall. A quaking aspen has pure white bark.
