Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

This aspen cultivar is a narrow growing, nearly columnar tree, growing about 40 feet tall but only 10 or so feet wide. It has the same rounded leaf, though the tips are more deeply serrated. The color is a bit more blue-green than the species. Swedish Aspen doesn't sucker at quite the rate of Quaking Aspen, which is a good thing. Useful as a screen or for lining a driveway.
