Trembling tree clusters
Aspen groves are stands of aspen trees, notable because aspens reproduce through root systems that send up genetically identical trunks.

Aspen groves are iconic in western North American landscapes, famous for their white bark and golden autumn foliage: We hiked through aspen groves turning yellow.
