@Matt_Mark2 Fantastic thread. Just one thing - #aspen obvs should be numero uno. #aspentwitter, assemble! @_JamieMcIntyre @_Polinard @LawroNCB @NicUalraig @PinkfootedGus @collbradan @joaniemac17 @EadhaAspen @ReforestingScot

We've been planting local provenance aspen trees grown in our nursery, at Locherwood Community Woodland to replace the dying Ash which have been hammered by Chalara. Aspen supports similar biodiversity. #aspentwitter

First report this year of aspen flowering in Scotland. In this case, East Ayrshire. #aspentwitter Keep your eyes peeled!

A beautiful aspen tree by the River Findhorn rustling in the wind last weekend. Well worth putting the sound on. Happy Thursday! #aspentwitter

#Aspentwitter assemble! Spotted a surprisingly large number of cliff-dwelling #aspen on the coastal path from Elgol to Camasunary. Also plenty of hazel, birch etc 🙂. ⁦@_JamieMcIntyre⁩ ⁦@LawroNCB⁩ ⁦@PinkfootedGus⁩ ⁦@ReforestingScot⁩ ⁦@EadhaAspen⁩ 1/2

#aspentwitter I am happy.

In fact, there was something of almost everything there: birch, rowan, hazel, holly, goat willow, alder, oak - and of course aspen #aspentwitter 3/n

Hey #aspentwitter - càite bheil mi?

Finally, an #aspentwitter bonus: I'm having a go at rooting a cutting in water, never succeeded in that before now, but this one has grown a root! So all being well, that's another 5 for the cause (so far.....)

@Watts_SH Here's my 'aspen as art' #AspenTwitter

Bonus gratuitous picture from a different site entirely, of aspen doing their thing, just because...... #aspentwitter 9/8

Raising aspen, planting them out in riparian areas, then looking after them until they get away is one of the few things that seems to make any sort of sense in the increasingly depressing world we live in. It's become really important to me; give it a try yourself #aspentwitter

Meanwhile in the Outer Hebrides... #AspenTwitter

Gorgeous autumnal colours on the coastal #Aspen at Tongue Bay. This beautiful tree is often restricted to isolated groups, but #conservation work is underway to protect & expand its #woodland extend from shore to mountain slopes 🤗 #PaintingScotlandYellow #AspenTwitter

Great at the best of times - but when it's one of your own babies, all grown up...... 😍 #aspentwitter @GilleAotrom @LawroNCB @NicUalraig @PinkfootedGus @EadhaAspen et al

I've become rather fond of #Aspen recently. With colours like these, who could resist? 📷 This stunning stand on the River Lochay is very local to me in #Killin 🤗 #PaintingScotlandYellow #AspenTwitter

My favourite trees being themselves in my favourite part of the world. #aspentwitter

Climax!!! #AspenTwitter

You'll maybe remember @NicUalraig passing a disreputable-looking character (😂) grubbing around the verges with a spade last April, not far from your house. Here's the fruits of that excursion now 👇#aspentwitter
