In a Nutshell:
* A tall, fast growing tree, usually 20–25 metres (66–82 ft) at maturity, with a trunk 20–80 centimetres (7.9–31 in) in diameter; records are 36.5 meters (120 ft) in height and 1.37 metres (4.5 ft) in diameter. more...
* Dirr notes that this is the most widely distributed of any North American tree. It is conical when young, with a narrow conical crown when adult. Has greenish white to creamy tan bark. It grows in any soil, often very quickly and is short-lived and subject to diseases. The tree is an important source of pulpwood and a breeze moving through a stand of aspen, ruffling every leaf as it passes, is a magical sight, the fall color is yellow.
* The bark is relatively smooth greenish-white to gray and is marked by thick black horizontal scars and prominent black knots. more...
* The leaves on mature trees are nearly round, 4–8 centimetres (1.6–3.1 in) in diameter with small rounded teeth, and a 3–7 centimetres (1.2–2.8 in) long, flattened petiole. more...
