I saw on this post that y'all were wondering about why Apsens are a pain in the butt, grow in clusters, and pretty much only are content in higher elevations. I have an answer to that. The one thing you need to consider about a tree that grows and a specific altitude is how it has adapted to that Altitude. These trees have a hard time handling "thicker" air. Yes humidity has something to do with it because the higher you go the less humidity you run into. You also have to take into consideration the fact that the air is thinner up there. People have also hard enough time getting oxygen up there so just imagine what the tree is going through trying to produce it.
I haven't done an Aspen yet, I want to, but I'm not set up for what I believe it's going to need. I would suggest a dehumidifier first and foremost. Let the things grow like the should in the sense of letting it make its own grove. The larger pans for the forest would probably be the best for it.
Aspens arent built to handle fungus, insects, and other lichen that is found in lower altitudes. You should seriously look at what grows where they do. If you add any moss to the planter you're setting yourself up for issues if it's not a moss found in higher altitudes as well. I used to live in Colorado and am very familiar with what's up that high and the eco-system that those trees grow in.
