One of the world’s largest living organisms is not an elephant, a giant redwood tree, or a blue whale. The blue whale is the largest mammal on Earth and can weigh over 190 tons, but a 6,000-ton plant is more than thirty times heavier. This giant tree has more than 47,000 Quaking Aspen stems growing on a single root system. The plant is located in the mountains south of Utah. The stems look like separate trees. However, they are different stems of the same tree and form one single separate plant. The tree is the result of a natural process that created one single individual tree in what looks like a grove of trees. Every leaf in the entire plant is the same size, shape, and color. Individual stems may die, but the entire plant has survived for many years. Quaking Aspens are the most common trees on the continent. The name “Quaking Aspen” refers to the nearly round leaves that appear to tremble or quake in the very slightest breeze. It is often the first tree to grow back after a fire or in forests where trees have been cut down. Aspen trees are used to make boxes, matches, furniture, and lumber used for building. Elk, moose, deer, beavers, rabbits, and other mammals feed on the twigs, leaves, buds, or bark. As a forest develops, aspens are often replaced by fir trees.
