The Aspen trees in this grove are in all probability part of the same family. Aspen trees seldom grow from seed; rather the grow from rhizomes like grass. So even though one tree may have a life expectancy similar to a human being, the trees may be part of a family of trees that are thousands of years old. Elk rub their antlers on the lower portion of the tree damaging the bark and turning it black.
