Bigtooth Tree Biography
Bigtooth aspen has 19 pairs of chromosomes (2n=38).
Height at maturity 60'-80' with diameters of 8'-10'; grows rapidly.
Age: Stands begin to deteriorate after 50-70 years on good sites, but individuals may live as long as 100 years.
Clonal species. Clones resemble small groves of many individual stems.
Roots shallow and wide spreading; lateral root spread in a forest may be 33'-66'. Generally, four to five lateral roots originate from the tree and then branch within 2'; vertical, penetrating roots near the base anchor the tree.
Bark of young trees smooth; after 30 years rough with grooves.
Identifiable as an Aspen by its characteristic aspen leaf.
Distinguished from Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) by having slightly larger leaves with large irregular teeth on the leaf edges. Quaking Aspen has finely toothed leaf edges.
