A diverse range of tree species may be found in Colorado. Some of the most common trees are as follows:
Aspens
Aspens, one of the most common trees in Colorado, are abundant. The tree’s leaves become a gorgeous shade of gold in the fall, but it also produces new leaves every spring. Aspens may grow to heights of up to 50 feet. In Colorado, they’re all over the place!
Cottonwood
Cottonwood is another deciduous tree that may be found across Colorado. They have an aspen-like look and only vary from aspens in having fuzzy leaves and a harder bark. Cottonwoods may grow to be 80 feet tall!
The Maple Tree
Unlike other trees, the maple tree keeps its leaves throughout the year rather than dropping them during the winter months. Unlike trees with just two or five primary points on their leaves (such as elms), maples have three primary points on their leaves, making them easily distinguished (like oak). Maples grow well in regions with plenty of sunlight and water, such as along rivers and lakes.
The coniferous tree
It is an evergreen coniferous tree (evergreen means they stay green all year). They may grow to be 100 feet tall and survive for more than 200 years! Balsam fir needles emit an oily, ethereal aroma when crushed between your fingers!
The Pine Tree
The state’s common pines include ponderosa pine, jack pine, limber pine, and lodgepole pine trees. If it becomes too cold, the needles of these trees will turn brown, similar to how aspen trees do in the winter.
This list does not contain many more trees. It goes without saying that Colorado has some of the most gorgeous trees in the world!
