Fast-Growing, Cold Hardy Tree

Why Quaking Aspen Trees?

Known for climate and soil adaptability, with gains of up to 5 feet per year, the Quaking Aspen Tree makes a statement. Especially since it boasts gorgeous fall color you'll love. And the Quaking Aspen is well-known for thriving in cold climates and poor soil.

Your new tree will give you bright yellow leaves in the fall - stunning against its white bark. An amazing tree in every sense, the Quaking Aspen gets its name from its shimmering heart-shaped leaves...as well as its characteristic tremble or quake when a light breeze passes through the tree.

Gorgeous Trees

I planted 5 of the 4-5 foot size in August of 2024. 3 of them did very well from day one and are thriving here in the spring/summer at the time of writing this, putting on 1-2 feet of growth already! Very pleased with these. The other 2 had horrible root balls and didn't look healthy at all when I received them (way too few roots to sustain the tree or be sold to a paying customer). That said, when the trees fully died, they honored their 1-year warranty and gave me credit to buy replacements. I decided to buy just 1 of their 6-7 foot aspens and was extremely pleased with the roots and quality of the tree. The root ball was massive and healthy; of WAY higher quality than the 4-5 foot root-balls. It's been in the ground just 2 weeks and is putting off new growth. I'd highly recommend buying a warranty that will get you through the winter so you can see if your new trees survived winter and are blooming in the spring. I wish all the trees they sent me the first time were high quality, but I'm happy they stood by their guarantee and eventually got me all high quality trees.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Ian! Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled that three of your 4–5 ft aspens took off right away and are thriving this spring and summer. It’s truly rewarding to hear they’ve put on 1–2 ft of growth already. We’re very sorry the other two didn’t arrive with strong root balls. As a nursery, we take pride in growing healthy, vigorous plants, and we regret those didn’t meet our standards. We’re glad we could stand by our 1-year guarantee and that you found a beautiful, well‑rooted 6–7 ft replacement. It’s wonderful to hear that one is already producing new growth after just two weeks. We appreciate your honest review and are committed to continuous improvement.

The one tree looks great,

The one tree looks great, the other one the leaves turned black and are falling off and I hope it is just stress that it’s going through. But overall we are pleased with them.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Thomas! Thanks so much for sharing. We're really glad to hear one of the trees is looking great. The other may indeed just be experiencing some transplant or shipping stress - that can happen even with healthy plants. No matter how carefully we care for them, Mother Nature can still have her say. We're here if you need anything at all, and we’re rooting for a full recovery!

🌳 tree has black spots on the leaves.

I had to contact fast Growing Trees to find out why my tree has black spots on the leaves 🍃. The representative said that it should be ok after the tree is planted and gets sun. The tree is showing new growth and I am very happy to see this happening. That's why I always purchase my tree's from fast Growing Trees. I'm very satisfied with the service

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Jacqui! Thank you for your thoughtful update. No matter how carefully we care for our trees before they leave the nursery, a bit of stress during transit or the adjustment period can sometimes show. We’re so glad yours is pushing out new growth. That’s a great sign. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out.
