Bigtooth Aspen
Bigtooth Aspen
Populus grandidentata - #3
Called a “pioneer” species because it is one of the first trees to invade abandoned fields or to reseed burned over areas, bigtooth aspen is favored by beavers for constructing dams and lodges. It is a popular tree to use for making paper, crates, and boxes. Deer and grouse feed on the buds and twigs.
