I am trying to track down a piece of botanical trivia. I recall hearing 
about a trembling aspen stand, all a single genet, that was estimated to 
be thousands of years old. However, I cannot find the details or the 
original source of this claim. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I'm afraid that I can't help you with a reference but, if it helps, I 
believe the clone you're referring to is located in Fishlake National 
Forest in Utah.
