Populus tremuloides is a deciduous tree native to cooler areas of North America, one of several species referred to by the common name aspen. It is commonly called quaking aspen,[2][3][4] trembling aspen,[2][3] American aspen,[3] mountain or golden aspen,[5] trembling poplar,[5] white poplar,[5] and popple,[5] as well as others.[5] The trees have tall trunks, up to 25 metres (82 feet) tall, with smooth pale bark, scarred with black. The glossy green leaves, dull beneath, become golden to yellow, rarely red, in autumn. The species often propagates through its roots to form large clonal groves originating from a shared root system. These roots are not rhizomes, as new growth develops from adventitious buds on the parent root system (the ortet).

Sugar maple is a native species from the northeastern United States and Eastern Canada regions. Although the maple leaf is Canada's national symbol, this tree is also popular in the US. Americans mostly grow sugar maple as an ornamental and shade tree. They also find it valuable because it produces maple syrup, maple sugar, and lumber for furniture making.
Flowering dogwood is a deciduous, woody understory tree in the dogwood family. Native to southeastern Canada, eastern North America, and eastern Mexico, it grows about 15 to 25 feet and has leaves that turn purple and red in the fall.
Lodgepole pine, a common tree in the pine family, is native to western North America and Canada. Its natural range extends from Alaska in the north to California in the south, from the Pacific coast to the east of the Rockies. It can grow up to 50 feet, but some varieties are shrubs that reach only 10 feet.
Not to be confused with Populus tremuloides, the American aspen, also called trembling aspen and quaking aspen.

Distribution map
Red maple is one of the most common trees in eastern North America, reaching up to 120 feet tall and a 6 feet trunk diameter. It is a fast-growing tree with a dense canopy and shallow roots, making it an excellent option for boulevards and shade trees. Its dense canopy provides shade all year, during spring, fall, and summer.
Abies balsamea or balsam fir is a North American fir, native to most of eastern and central Canada (Newfoundland west to central Alberta) and the northeastern United States (Minnesota east to Maine, and south in the Appalachian Mountains to West Virginia).[
White Oak Is a tree species endemic to the eastern United States, with a staggering population in eastern and central North America. The western slopes of the Appalachian mountains and the Ohio and central Mississippi River valleys have the best environmental conditions for growing white oak. However, the giant trees are on the eastern shore of Delaware and Maryland.
The American elm, also known as white elm and common elm, is next on our list of common trees in the United States. It is the largest species of all native elms, reaching a height of 80 ft and a diameter between 2 and 5 ft. American elms are native to eastern North America.
American basswood is native to eastern North America. The large tree species is a well-known honeybee tree. This bee species builds beehives in them, producing basswood honey that is pale in color and has a unique taste. It is also a home for butterflies and a food source for small mammals.
Eastern cottonwood is another widely distributed tree in America. It is a large tree that grows along streams, rivers, and lowland areas. It is the oldest and largest hardwood tree in North America, reaching a height of 100 feet and width of 75 feet. The tree species got its name from its seeds, which resemble cotton.
Eastern white pine is a native species of North America. This Maine and Michigan state tree has gray-brown barks, broad ridges, and scaly plates. It can grow between 50 to 80 feet tall.
Shagbark hickory is a member of the walnut family. It grows to 60 - 80 feet and is 25 - 35 feet wide. It is endemic to eastern and central America and some regions of Canada. The tree thrives in sandy or clay soils but prefers fertile, deep, and well-drained soil. It is also drought and flood-tolerant.
Douglas fir is an evergreen coniferous tree with an average height of 40 to 80 feet, reaching up to 300 feet in the wild. The tree takes on the name of the botanist David Douglas, who introduced the first seeds to Great Britain from North America.
The Douglas Squirrel lives in the conifers along the Pacific coastline of North America. This herbivorous squirrel feeds on seeds, berries, nuts, and conifer cones but may add insects and bird eggs when food is scarce.
Unlike other squirrel species, the Douglas Squirrel remains active during winter, gathering and storing food in hidden caches to get through the cold months. These caches often sprout into new saplings, contributing to the forest's renewal.
Named after Scottish botanist David Douglas, the Douglas Squirrel is a common sight in the lush forests from British Columbia to central California.
