A graceful native tree with shimmering leaves that flutter in the light, filling the landscape with color, sound, and the beauty of motion
FEATURES:
- Distinctive white bark adds brightness year-round

Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Summer Shimmer Aspen in full sun and well-drained soil for its healthiest growth and brightest color. It thrives in cooler regions but adapts well to many northern and mountain landscapes. Because aspens are naturally clonal, allow space for their roots to spread and form small groves if desired. Pair with darker evergreens or flowering shrubs to highlight its white bark and shimmering leaves. The combination of sound, texture, and color creates a truly peaceful landscape experience.
