The Quaking Aspen is a hardy, native tree with an oval growth habit. Its dark green, rounded leaves turn a brilliant gold in the fall, adding striking colour to the landscape. The tree’s smooth, white bark provides visual interest throughout the year. Known for its excellent cold tolerance, it is adaptable to a variety of soil types and is considered drought-tolerant. While the Quaking Aspen does not tolerate urban pollution well, it thrives in rural settings.
