For anyone in areas with Aspen trees, they are a single organism since they spread via roots. That is why you see groves of Aspen trees that seem to be sharply delineated, it's all one tree. Biology is just fascinating/scary like this, but knowing this makes the experience of standing in an aspen grove during the height of summer even more powerful. It's all one connected organism thst has spread so far that you can't see anything else of the mountain while standing in the middle of the grove.
