The Last Root Collection of the Season

This week, I undertook the last aspen root collection in the North East for this season. The aspen tree is growing on a crag at 450 metres above sea level. Despite the overcast day, there were lovely views across the valley.

The warm weather has meant many aspen are coming into leaf early.

The roots have been sent to Highland Aspen Group tree nursery in Kingussie to propagate new aspen trees for planting next winter. Some of these young trees may even be planted back on this site.
