Photo of woodland with widely spaced, white trunks of aspen trees. These are all clones.

A recent study of Pando, the world’s largest clone of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), found that it arose from a single seedling & thought to be one of the oldest clonal organisms at ca. 16,000–80,000 years. 📷: Ken Lund CCBYSA2. www.biorxiv.org/cont... 🌾🧪🌱
