Comments:
The leaves are round and triangular, with small teeth on the margins; they turn a bright yellow in autumn. Quaking aspen is one of the most widely distributed trees in America. It has fluffy seeds that are carried far and wide by the wind, and is one of the first species to start growing the year after a forest fire.
