An Aspen Tree a good landscape tree?

When I worked for the US Forest Service the aspen trees were considered the weeds of the forest. In the vegetation cycle of the forest they are helpful to shelter the young evergreen trees until such trees are large enough to survive. This was back when the Forest Service was under the direction of the department of agriculture and not the department of interior like it is now. Back then the forests were considered a crop. Aspens are not a long living tree in most cases. They grow tall and thick then fall over and put so much ground clutter the larger wildlife can't get through them enough to consume their natural foods. In 2018 a forest fire, the Spring Fire, burnt 80 acres I own in southern Colorado. It is now a jungle of small aspen trees and the dreaded locust brush, Mexican Poplar.

I'm gonna plant a Quaking Aspen because aspens support 330 species of native months and butterflies where I'm at in Pennsylvania

[@russellkeeling4387]

Yep they support many detrimental bugs like the pouch catapiller which will destroy all your aspen trees.

Thanks for clarifying propagation issue and altitude. I was attracted to "noise" and fall color, but my geographical location and smaller lot WILL NOT benefit from planting. Be safe and thanks again!

Thank you for watching, as with most things it is best to find the trees and shrubs that will thrive in your area. can I ask what part of the country you reside in? and if you don't mind me asking what did you go with instead? thank you and take care.

propagate via root system?

[@itsvahn7977]

what was that? were your neighbors being very noisy?

The quaking aspen is the dominant tree in most of Alberta, where I live.
No one plants it here as an ornamental. It's much more of a nuisance.
The leaf is configured to move rapidly in the slightest breeze. I believe this is the main reason they grow so fast; it aids in transpiration.
I had a plant book that said there were over 150 names for this tree in Native American languages, all of which equate to "woman's tongue." Interesting, but I believe that book is no longer in print. Talk about violating more than one cardinal rule of political correctness.
