Another aspen! The only other one in North America - bigtooth aspen, Populus grandidentata. Bigtooth aspen is very similar to quaking aspen, to the point that the two species hybridize readily. However, P. grandidentata has different life history strategies which result in it being found in different forest assemblages than quaking aspen across its range, our lovely forests of eastern North America.

Forests for the Bay has been funded by the US Forest Service for many years, and has allowed us to educate countless people on trees and their myriad benefits. Tree Talk is an extemporaneous lesson by Ryan Davis, recorded opportunistically by his wife Allyson while out and about in the landscapes they love. He sometimes gets things wrong because he's just speaking from memory, and the pop-ups and fact checks come from two sources: the US Forest Service Southern Research Station's accounts of the species at hand, and the 5th edition of North American Trees by Dr. Richard Preston Jr. and Dr. Richard Braham (Ryan's college dendrology professor) of North Carolina State University.

Recorded on 7/1/23 in Wyoming County Pennsylvania by Allyson Davis, who at 8 months pregnant could barely fit in her boot, seen at 5:11.
