Now check this out! From very lonely yesterday to one great family today.

In the Wasatch Mountains in Bryce Canyon National Park located in Utah, there exists a {clonal} tree network of 47,000 Quaking Aspen trees nicknamed Pando, (Populus tremuloides), growing from a single root system. The root system is estimated to be over 80,000 years old although the average age of the trees, measured by counting the tree rings is approximately only 130 years old. It is genetically uniform and acts as a single life form, thus changing the color and shedding the leaves of all the trees in unison. The entire system covers approximately 106 acres and weighs about 6600 tons
