Populus tremuloides
Quaking aspen

The strong point of this species, the bright yellow fall color is a highly prized major component of fall color in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. It often occurs with Ponderosa pine that lends a dark green foil for the bright yellow fall color of the aspen.
