	Aspen
	Aspen, commonly referred to as "Quaking" or "Trembling" Aspen, is native to much of North America. Height will range from 25 to 60 feet in North Dakota.
		Aspen grows rapidly and will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions but has high moisture requirements. The flattened petioles permit the leaves to tremble in the slightest breeze; hence its common name.
	The seed is collected from native stands in North Central North Dakota. Plant Aspen in a windbreak eight to twelve feet apart. Quaking Aspen is available only as container grown stock and sold in lots of fifty (50).
