'We don’t know what’s going on down under but up at our elevation we know Colorado’s gorgeous Aspen groves are a sight to behold and are the world’s largest plant.”
“Australia is vainly professing that a self-cloning underwater seagrass forest is even larger than Colorado’s world-class Aspen groves. We don’t know what’s going on down under but up at our elevation we know Colorado’s gorgeous Aspen groves are a sight to behold and are the world’s largest plant,” Polis said in a news release.A view of fall colors at Kebler Pass, which is considered the largest aspen grove in the U.S.
Aspen groves are connected through a common root system, Polis argues, and “each tree is akin to a shoot coming out from the same, vast underground organism.”Many patches of their seagrass, while genetically identical, are not in fact connected to one another and are therefore separate organisms with the same genetics.
According to reports, researchers “detected some very subtle mutations in the plant’s genetics across the places it was growing” further confirming that the seagrass is not one, single plant organism.
