Planting Aspen At Altitude….

I have a high elevation property in Colorado. It’s roughly at 9500′, I tried to transplant a couple Aspen that lasted only one year. I see other Aspen nearby so know they can grow I just wonder how to give them the best start possible as we do not live there full time. Also do you think a “Fat Boy Spruce” will also survive at the same elevation?

I would say that it can survive. Especially since you have seen, at least, one in the area. These articles will offer the best care information:

Many conifers will do well, as long as you stay within temperature tolerances of the species of your choice. This article will help:
