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.
Grow in full to part sun in well drained soil; aspen prefer a loamy soil. Not drought tolerant.
