The Tree
The Bigtooth Aspen is so similar in appearance, size and other characteristics to Quaking Aspen as to make its identification by the layman somewhat difficult. Perhaps the most distinguishing characteristic is in the larger leaf which is short-pointed, three to six inches long, coarsely toothed, in contrast to the leaf of Quaking Aspen, Bigtooth Aspen leaves are dark green on their upper surface and paler beneath as compared with the Quaking Aspen leaf which is lustrous, dark green above, and a dull, pale green beneath. This tree, like the Quaking Aspen, reproduces rapidly and quickly establishes itself in burned and cut-over areas.
