Golden Colorado Aspens
Fall would not be complete without an annual photo of the splendid golden Aspen trees.
A Colorado Native in our High Country. Over
A Jeep Trail ride created this photo of Aspens on Brown Mountain, near Fairplay, Co.
Please be reminded that Aspens are not well adapted to the dry conditions of the Denver Metro area. Aspens do best in elevations over 7,000 ft and above & strive in moist soil. At lower elevations Aspen tress are vulnerable to a wide range of problems including insects, pests and diseases. They require major soil amending to reduce stress on their growth cycle.
Take a hike through the trees, at any time of the year, and you will find that a grove of Aspens standing tall where soft moist grasses grow around their trunks. Enjoy them throughout the year in the High County!
