The Quaking Aspen is a favorite native tree. Aspens are fast growing, but they also give you incredible color. Beautiful heart shaped leaves turn bright yellow in the fall.

• Known for climate and soil adaptability
• Grows up to 5 ft per year!
• Gorgeous fall color

The Quaking Aspen is well known for thriving in cold climates and poor soil... but it's also a brightly colored tree with many desirable characteristics.

Your new tree will give you bright yellow leaves in the fall – stunning against its white bark.

Quaking Aspens, native to North America, are very popular in northern growing zones... and for good reason. You know fall is on its way when your Aspen trees begin turning bright gold.

An amazing tree in every sense, the Quaking Aspen gets its name from its shimmering heart-shaped leaves. Called “quaking” for its characteristic tremble or quake when a light breeze passes through the tree.

Grows best in Growing Zones 2-6, and commonly grows up to 5 ft. per year up to 50 ft. high with a spread of up to 25 ft.

Your Quaking Aspen can be planted any time of year!

It's Easy to Plant your Quaking Aspen
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Quaking Aspen. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Quaking Aspen gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Quaking Aspen again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Rich in Lewiston, ID

Aspens are a great, fast growing tree. I have planted them on a hill above my lawn and they have grown to 40 feet tall in ten years.

The house I moved into had Quaking Aspen trees in the back yard. They are wonderful shade trees. However, the leaves began to fall at the end of June and kept falling until winter. My yard always had leaves in it.
