Quaking Aspen Disease | Garden Guides

Quaking Aspen Disease | Garden Guides: "Quaking aspens add a beautiful aesthetic impact to your home garden but come with some hefty health baggage. While proper care will promote vigorous growth, a variety of diseases are known to plague this tree. Familiarize yourself with infections, what to look for and how to handle disease that arises for healthy trees in your landscape.
Care
Quaking aspen trees (Populus tremuloides), also referred to as aspens or quakies, are more likely to avoid or have the capability to fight disease when vigorous in comparison to weakened trees. Grow quaking aspens in full sun exposure as they are not at all tolerant to shade. Quaking aspens prefer well-drained loam soil high in organic content but will fall ill in excessively wet or waterlogged conditions, according to the Utah State University Cooperative Extension."
