About the Prairie Gold
Aspen :
The Prairie Gold Quaking Aspen, 'Populus
tremuloides ‘Prairie Gold’, is a fast-growing tree
that grows in everything from moist sandy soil to
shallow rocky soils and clay. It has attractive
cream-colored bark, beautiful silvery catkins in
early spring, and lustrous dark green leaves that
flutter in the slightest breeze, finally turning
yellow in fall. This selection was discovered
growing near a northeast Nebraska creek by the late,
dedicated plants man, Allen Wilke, where it had
survived and thrived for years.
‘Prairie Gold’ has performed well in the
landscape and seems to thrive in the heat and high
humidity of eastern Nebraska. This selection does
not seem to be affected by the host of diseases that
usually plague this species. It should perform well
in other parts of the Great Plains and the front
range of the Rockies as well.. Grows to 35-40’ high
and 20-30’ wide. |
