Fluttering in the slightest breeze, the rippling leaves of this tree give it its name: quaking aspen. A very fast-growing and large tree, with male and female catkins are found on separate trees, that open before the leaves. Growing Conditions: Grows very well on moist, rich soil. It needs a place with plenty of light to grow well. Value To Wildlife: Very good for insects. Important Note: You’ll receive a 2 year old well established whip that's between 20 to 60cm in height. This is a deciduous tree and so will shed its leaves in autumn, in order to protect itself from the cold winter weather. Come spring, it’ll burst back into bud and begin to flourish once more.
