The white aspen, Populus alba, is alien, but it's very pretty, and not very invasive here, although it can be a problem some places. Yesterday, the wind was turning the leaves over to reveal the bright white undersides.
This isn't the tree in my kingdom, but still pretty close to me.
For a reminder of how white it looks in the spring, see White Trees Part I
And I have a really interesting picture of its bark somewhere, but of course, can't find it to put here where it would fit. I suppose you'll just see this tree another time!

We have a few of these trees around here, and they usually mark the location of old pioneer cabins.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if we have any of those close by or not
ReplyDeleteAs an MSU alum, I like the green and white.
