 Aspen Tree   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In all Poplars the trees are unisexual; the vinous-red, caterpillar-like catkins of anthers that color the leafless trees and strew the ground in April being as conspicuous in the case of the male plants as are the thickly-packed woolly seeds in summer in that of the females.
The chief structural characters of the Aspen are that its shoots are downy, and its leaves on very long stalks; those on the suckers heart-shaped, pointed, but not toothed; those on the branches rounded, with incurved teeth; and all of them silky on the under surface when young, though generally becoming smooth later.
A row of Aspens in such a situation, relieving the heavy foliage of the lower-growing Alders or Rhododendrons, would prove very effective, reflecting, as it were, in their quivering leaves, the ripple of the water at their feet.

 Aspen: The multimedia magazine in a box   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Aspen was conceived by Phyllis Johnson, a former editor for Women's Wear Daily and Advertising Age.
