Utah designated quaking aspen as the official state tree in 2014, replacing the original state tree; blue spruce, adopted in 1933. All State Trees
This change began with fourth-grade students at Monroe Elementary in Sevier County. The students felt that the blue spruce did not represent Utah as a whole.
