Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to the colder areas of North America. The species is known aspen, aspen, and Quakies, the names are derived from the leaves that flutter in the breeze. Plant a tree has large trunk, up to 25 meters, with smooth pale bark, marked with black. Leaves bright green, dull below, turn to gold to yellow, rarely red in the fall. The species rarely flowers, often spread through their roots to form large groves.
The name refers to tremors or shaking of the leaves is produced, even a slight breeze due to the flattened petioles. The specific epithet, tremuloides, this feature is given for shaking. Other species of Populus with flattened petioles partially along its length, while the aspen are flattened from side to side along the entire length of the petiole. This quake leaves producing a light that many consider the hallmark of aspen. Can be found in most of North America.
One of several species referred to the common name of Aspen, or American poplar, trembling aspen mountain or gold, the name poplar, trembling of the Alamo, is used with Quakies, Quakers, Popple, White Poplar and aspen Alamo.
The female gives the name of Waverly means aspen or aspen Dehesa.
A tall tree of rapid growth, usually 20 to 25 meters (66-82 feet) at maturity, with a trunk 20 to 80 centimeters (7.9 to 31 inches) in diameter, the records are 36.5 meters (120 feet) high and 1.37 meters (4.5 feet) in diameter.
The bark is relatively smooth greenish white to gray and is characterized by thick black horizontal scars and prominent black knots.
Leaves of mature trees are almost round, 4. 8 centimeters (1.6 to 3.1 inches) in diameter with small rounded teeth, and 3.7 centimeters (1.2-2.8 in) long petioles, smooth. Young trees (including root suckers) are much higher-10-20 centimeters (3.9 to 7. 9 inches) long, almost triangular leaves.
The flowers are catkins 4.6 centimeters (1.6 to 2.4 inches) long, produced in early spring before the leaves, is dioecious, with male and female catkins on different trees. The fruit is a 10-centimeter (3.9 inches) long hanging chain 6 mm (0.24 inches) capsules, each capsule containing about ten minutes seeds soaked cotton lint, which aids wind dispersal of seeds when ripe in early summer.
