Hi all,
I live in Virginia Beach, zone 8a. I love quaking aspen! When I moved here I talked with our extension office and asked them about Quaking Aspen growing here. They told me that they would, so I ordered several from the National Arbor Foundation. They have been growing in my yard for over 20 years. They are great! I love them! The suckering issue doesn't bother me. I just cut them off. However, sometimes they pop up in just the perfect spot and I let them grow! I have several growing around my patio now and they provide great dappled shade for other plants.
These are pictures from 2006
The following are pictures from this year.
This last picture are the suckers that came up around my patio.
I was wondering the same thing if I could pot up a sucker and transplant it to another area of my yard.
