Asp - Old English for the aspen tree-- a tree that symbolizes interdependence, grows in colonies and is said to have the most developed root system of all living trees. It supports the growth of the individual tree and the collective grove at the same time. In ancient myth, aspen leaves were said to represent women's inability to stop talking. We’re all for that!
