    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Aspens look most pleasing planted in a clump; we have done the work for you here by planting three of these most beautiful trees together. This much loved 30-50' native U.S. tree is easily recognized by its delightful medium green heart-shaped leaves on flattened stems, which flutter brightly in the slightest breeze and by its creamy-white bark which becomes chalky-white with black patches as it ages, the bark makes a lovely picture combined with its golden-yellow fall color; much better suited to areas with cool summers.
