Morphology
The phrase describes an aspen characterized by large, coarse 'teeth' on its leaves; this interpretation is directly derivable from 'large' + 'tooth' + 'aspen' following normal English modifier+noun patterns. Although botanical usage is somewhat technical, the compositional meaning (an aspen with large/toothed leaves) is transparent to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The name large tooth aspen comes from the look of its leaves. The word large means 'big', tooth describes the saw-like edges of the leaves, and aspen is the tree, so the name means a 'type of tree' with 'big, toothed leaves'.
