What does ASPEN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A slender poplar tree whose flattened leaf stalks make the leaves flutter and rustle in even the lightest breeze.
The trembling comes from the leaf stalk itself: unlike most leaves, an aspen leaf stalk is flattened sideways rather than round, so it twists easily and lets the whole leaf shiver at the slightest current of air. Quaking aspen, one of the most widespread trees in North America, often spreads into large stands that are genetically a single organism connected by underground roots. The constant motion and the pale, papery bark have made the aspen a familiar image in poetry describing restlessness or unease.
