Aspen Clones

Humans have only recently begun to do cloning, but God's been doing it from the beginning. When an aspen seed gets established it sends out roots, or suckers, that form new trees which are genetically identical to the original tree--clones. The largest known such aspen grove covers more than 17 acres, has more than 47,000 trees, weighs 13 million pounds, and was recently nominated as the earth's largest living individual. The more you know about nature, the more you appreciate God's creativity.

This aspen grove stands next to Cascade Lake (see yesterday's blog) south of Kremmling, Colorado.
