Aspen, Summer Shimmer 15 gal Clump

Aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a striking deciduous tree celebrated for its shimmering foliage and brilliant autumn colors. As the most widely distributed tree species in North America, it thrives from Alaska to Mexico and across Canada.

A true pioneer species, aspens flourish in disturbed areas, forming expansive clonal colonies through their interconnected root systems. This unique trait enables rapid landscape regeneration following events like wildfires, landslides, or logging. When combined with other sun-loving plants such as penstemons, coneflowers, and yarrow, they contribute to vibrant, dynamic meadows teeming with life.
