Wanted, Aspen Trees

[jaytee]

I've been looking for aspen trees for awhile now and the only thing I've found was from the National Arbor Foundation. I bought two of theirs but they were VERY small, 'bout a foot tall and about the size of a soda straw. Looking for something in the 2 to 3 foot range. Any help would be appreciated. And we live in Southwest Missouri and according to the zone maps, we should be okay.

Doesn't anybody know where I can get some aspen trees? A little help please:bang:

I've got a whole bunch. Nothing in the 2-3' range. Most of my stuff is 12" DBH to 18" DBH. I will give you a great deal! (Since you're an AS member and all. )

What do want Aspen trees for? Good for pulp and OSB, not much else. They grow fast and die young.

We love the fall color and want to plant some around our house.

There every were in the Denver area. No idea on how to ship them? Even Wally_world sells them here about 5' tall.

Whats the life span?

Here upstate ny aspens and poplars live probably 10-20 yrs and usually die from diseases like canker before that though

I had a nice row of Lombardy poplars about 40 ft tall and 12 yrs aold and all died within 2 yrs of canker any poplar/cottonwood/aspen grow super fast and usualy die very young.Some hybrid poplars resist disease better but then get gigantic and die after maybe 20 - 30 yrs anyhow of old age
