Aspen is a common name for certain tree species, some, but not all, of those that are classified by botanists in the section Populus, of the poplar genus.
The following species are called aspens:
The aspens are all native to cold regions with cool summers, in the north of the Northern Hemisphere, extending south at high altitudes in the mountains. They are all medium-sized deciduous trees reaching 15–30 m (49–98 ft) tall.
All of the aspens typically grow in large clonal colonies derived from a single seedling, and spreading by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 m (98–130 ft) metres from the parent tree. Each individual tree can live for 40–150 years above ground, but the root system of the colony is long-lived. In some cases, this is for thousands of years, sending up new trunks as the older trunks die off above ground. For this reason it is considered to be an indicator of ancient woodlands. One such colony in Utah, given the nickname of "Pando", is estimated to be 80,000 years old, making it possibly the oldest living colony of aspens. Some aspen colonies become very large with time, spreading about 1 m (3.3 ft) per year, eventually covering many hectares. They are able to survive forest fires, because the roots are below the heat of the fire, with new sprouts growing after the fire burns out.

Plot: Large pizza with pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, onions and DEATH! Terror is served up piping hot as the main entrée from Thick'N'Long's Pizza in this teen horror comedy digital video. Other side dishes of humiliation, nudity, hypnotism, sex, teens with bad boundaries, fast cars, sarcastic students, murder, pizza cutters, more sex, group sex and an cameo appearance by Bobby Trendy are delivered in this tale of retribution. The story revolves around Zaffo, a part-time janitor, part-time pizza delivery man who has a history of being abused at work by his employer, Mr Boutiques and by co-worker Aspen and by several customers. A group of teens force Zaffo to engage in homoerotic degradation at the schoolyard, the last straw in Zaffo's level of tolerance. After consulting a psychic (the Amazing Robaire) and getting advice from an outrageously effeminate and gay pizza customer (in a cameo by Bobby Trendy), Zaffo "delivers" payback to his therapist who he forces to cast on spell on the teens. The therapist makes the boys pay for their words and actions. Zaffo then abuses the sarcastic teens one at a time, utilizing hypnosis, trigger words, pizza cutters, and a pas de deux of death to deliver the final reprisal. Zaffo makes an "extra large pie" to satiate his appetite for the ultimate settling of scores. No one escapes the wrath of the disgruntled employee or the terror he serves one slice at a time. Whether it be from the dumpster, on the playground, with a naked therapist in his office or in an old, dilapidated shack, Zaffo will show everyone what it feels like to be HUMILIATED. Bon apetit!
