Fast growing, long-lived, slender, suckering, deciduous native tree with long, pointed sharp buds which open to coppery-green, long-stemmed, rounded leaves with wave-shaped teeth, which turn grey-green, then butter-yellow in autumn. Leaves flutter in the slightest breeze so the tree is often heard before being seen. Large male and female drooping catkins in early spring. Aspen supports a large number of insects and butterfly species. Any soil, prefers moist conditions, but will grow on poor soils.
TREE 9 x 4.6m (30 x 15ft) in 20 years, ultimate height 15m (50ft).

Bare-Root Plants (Transplants)
Bare-root plants are sold without a pot/soil around the roots. This is a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of growing plants. To ensure the best plant health we do not store our plants in cold storage, but they are left in our field or plant beds until they are ready for packing or collection.
Transplanted plants have been lifted from the ground and replanted. This encourages a better fibrous root system and makes the plant stronger and bushier.
Availability
Bare rooted plants are only available when the plants are dormant (typically from late November to March).
If a plant is currently out of stock because it is out of season (for example, bare rooted plants in summer) or we have sold out but we are expecting more to be available you can pre-order the plant. We only charge credit/debit cards when an order is despatched, not when an order is placed.
