Foliage and Flowers 
The leaves are dark green with large teeth. Young leaves are bronze in colour, turning green, then vibrant yellow before falling in autumn. The Aspen is dioecious, which means that the male and female catkins are on separate trees in March/April. Once pollinated, the female catkins release tiny fluffy seeds in the summer.

 

Plant Interest 
Aspen is attractive to all types of wildlife, from insects to birds and even beavers.

 

Landscape Use 
Aspen can be used in a parkland setting.

 

Uses
Aspen wood is lightweight and was used for making surgical splints, paddles, oars, and even wagon bottoms.
