trembling aspen
Shivering poplar species
Trembling aspen is a North American tree with leaves that flutter in the slightest breeze, creating a shimmering effect.
The movement comes from flattened leaf stalks that catch air differently than round stems.
Also called quaking aspen.
The species forms vast clonal colonies—what looks like a forest may be a single organism connected by roots.
