Expert answers about tree care in Aspen's unique environment
What tree species are common in Aspen?
Common trees in the Aspen area include quaking aspen (of course!), Colorado blue spruce, Engelmann spruce, lodgepole pine, Douglas fir, and subalpine fir. At lower elevations near town, you'll also find ornamental species like flowering crabapples and mountain ash. Each species has unique care requirements at this elevation.
When should I water my trees in Aspen?
Deep root watering is most beneficial during hot, dry periods from June through September. Even at 8,000 feet, trees need supplemental water during drought. Water in the morning to reduce evaporation, and focus on established trees that may be competing for moisture.
Do I need wildfire mitigation in Aspen?
