Instant Inspiration: Photos from The Life & Love of Trees
Extraordinary images from some of the world's leading nature photographers.
United States
Species: Populus tremuloides
Photographer: Art Wolfe
This grove of trembling aspens is also at its southern
limit, requiring an environment that is not too hot in the
day and is cold at night. The likelihood is that all the
trees in this image are genetically identical, being
clones of each other that have originally extended
through roots throwing up new suckers. Aspens
typically replicate in this way, and rarely through seed.
