Quaking Aspen bring beauty to landscape
Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) grows in groves throughout the cooler climates in North America. Groves are characterized by a number of stems rising from the same root system, sharing the same DNA. There is a Quaking Aspen grove in the North Idaho Native Plant Arboretum, 611 S. Ella Ave., Sandpoint.
