They also grow slower I believe, so if you are looking for a quick impact for a screen, aspen is probably your best bet. There's a few more trees which have a decent height to width ratio, like a Dakota Pinnacle Birch, but again the mature height won't be as high as the aspen and will take longer to get there.

Are you creating a privacy screen along a fence?
