About the Quaking Aspen
  • Its striking white bark is green beneath a white powdery coating, serving to protect it from sun damage at high elevations
  • It reproduces through clones, which are shoots sent up from its root system that have identical genetic make-up
  • Its soft wood makes it a favorite of cavity-nesting birds like woodpeckers, flickers and blue birds
  • Aspen sprouts are the favorite food for the elk in the area
  • The largest living organism on earth is a quaking aspen. Living in Utah and spanning 106 acres of its clones, these trees are genetically identical and arise from one massive underground root
