Aspen is a common name for certain tree species; some, but not all, are classified by botanists in the section Populus, of the poplar genus.
These 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 spread by means of root suckers; new stems in the colony may appear at up to 30–40 m (98–131 ft) 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.
The City of Aspen is the Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous municipality of Pitkin County, Colorado, United States. The city population was 6,658 at the 2010 United States Census. Aspen is situated in a remote area of the Rocky Mountains' Sawatch Range and Elk Mountains, along the Roaring Fork River at an elevation just below 8,000 feet (2,400 m) above sea level on the Western Slope, 11 miles (18 km) west of the Continental Divide.
Founded as a mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom and later named "Aspen" because of the abundance of aspen trees in the area, the city boomed during the 1880s, its first decade of existence. That early era ended when the Panic of 1893 led to a collapse in the silver market, and the city began a half-century known as "the quiet years" during which its population steadily declined, reaching a nadir of less than a thousand by 1930. Aspen's fortunes reversed in the mid-20th century when neighboring Aspen Mountain was developed into a ski resort, and industrialist Walter Paepcke bought many properties in the city and redeveloped them. Today it is home to three renowned institutions, two of which Paepcke helped found, that have international importance: the Aspen Music Festival and School, the Aspen Institute, and the Aspen Center for Physics.
Aspen is a lake of Botkyrka Municipality, Södermanland, Sweden. The lake is crossed by the European route E4/European route E20 and is located about 20 kilometres southwest of Stockholm, the Swedish capital. It has an area of 1,847 km².
During the Stone Age, Aspen was in the ocean, but was uplifted by the time of the Bronze Age. Bronze Age settlements grew up around the lake and for some thousand years Iron Age farms were around the lake. The area developed during this period. A graveyard from that period is preserved in the area.
Skrävsta Ekholmen nature reserve is in the vicinity of the lake with about sixty large oak trees, half of which are centuries old. There are large bats and many other rare animal and plant species. Around the lake is a nature trail at 7½ km length. The path leads through the woods, high above the marsh.

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!
