Quaking Aspen Tree Trunk

A closeup of an Aspen tree's smooth, gray/green trunk, pitted with small, black horizontal growths.

The Aspen's smooth, white/green bark causes people to mistake this species for Paper Birch. An Aspen's bark does not flake, turns light green when wet, and tends to take on a thick, dark crust as the tree ages.
