LATE SUMMER QUAKING ASPEN is one of the most well known tree species in the western USA and Canada. It is found from the northern limit of trees in northwestern Alaska through the western US and into northern Mexico. It favors conditions near streams and rivers, in meadows and in canyon rocks. Quaking Aspen is a beautiful poplar tree that makes the western theme great to model. It has creamy white bark, bright green leaves, each leaf flipping in a different direction, making the tree or grove seem to shimmer and murmur in the breeze. In late summer, aspen leaves turn yellow feathering to a green tone, and in the clear sunlit places it prefers, its colors blaze in brilliant revelry. 6" and 9" Late Summer Quaking Aspens - Handmade in the USA featuring delicate floss branches and feathing yellow to medium green 'SuperLEAF' foliage.
