jon, I've also seen that coloration on large toothed aspen. I can't remember it being really noticeable, but just a 'hint' of orange.

Northern Wisconsin has both Big tooth and Quaking Aspen. Without a leaf to look at (less than 80 foot up :D) I identify the mature trees by looking up at the boltwood below the crown. Quaking has a distinctly white to blotchy white color, Big Tooth looks greenish on the bolt wood.

If you can get a leaf it is real easy to tell them apart.

I could show ya bark pictures of trembling that look like white birch from a distance, as white as snow. Then I could show ya bark as green as snot. ;)

Been noticing this year that alot of large toothed aspen are turning orange instead of the typical yellow we associate with aspen trees. I'll try to get a picture when the trees are fully turned. 8)

On some aerial photos taken in early fall I've mistaken large tooth groves for maple stands untill I've walked into the stand to discover they were aspen. ;D

Mid fall is here in Northern Wisconsin. Aspens just dropped most of their leaves. (They were pretty this year, lots of orange like in SD's photo.) our RO is very colorfully this year too, but no acorns.

This morning was heavy frost here and I was out on the woodlot before moon set (see Sky scene thread). Alot of leaves will fall today, and as the sun was warming up the leaf surfaces on the aspen and maples, they were falling big time. The mountain in mostly bare now (see Windmill thread) except the aspens , beech and the red oak. Another couple of weeks and she's gonna be alot more bare.
