[Notes from NA 37939, the parent accession: "Collected with Betula lenta near Cressy Creek, Smyth County, Virginia by P.M.Mazzo and F.G.Meyer. These specimens represent the only "cultivated" material in existence, and accordingly document this rarest and unusual North American birch. /A/, /B/, & /C/ assigned to differentiate germplasm source per R.

The woodlands are primarily deciduous with a few evergreens infrequently mixed. Slope: 15 to 30 percent. Aspect: Northeast. Soil: The primary soil type in the area of this collection is classified as Rockland Series sandstone (Rc). The Rockland series consists of well drained soils formed in loamy colluvium from rotational landslides on slopes of stream valleys and dissections of ground moraines. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderate in the upper part of the profile and moderately slow in the lower part. Slopes range from 18 to 70 percent. Some pedons have buried leaves, twigs, and moss. Mass soil movement has left random remnants of soil structure from prior upslope soil development and has buried tree branches, leaves and moss. The upper 0-2 cm of soil contains slightly decomposed organic matter while lower soils layers to a depth of 58 cm are comprised of dark reddish-brown to brown silt loam and are moderately acidic. Below 58 cm the soils are generally dark reddish-brown silt loam and strongly to moderately alkaline. (Source:California Soil Resource Lab/NRCS Official Soil Series Descriptions). Geology: The underlying geology of this area is of Pennsylvanian origin and characterized as Pottsville Formation. It is characterized by light-gray thin to thick-bedded quartzose sandstone and conglomerate containing interbedded dark-gray shale, siltstone, and coal.

The primary soil type in the collection area is classified as Tusquitee loam, 10 to 25 percent slopes. The Tusquitee series consists of very deep, well drained soils on gently sloping to very steep benches, foot slopes, toe slopes, and fans in coves in the Southern Blue Ridge mountains, MLRA 130B. These soils formed in colluvium derived from materials weathered from igneous and high-grade metamorphic crystalline rocks such as granite, mica gneiss, hornblende gneiss, and schist. Slope ranges from 2 to 95 percent. The surface layer to 5cm deep is comprised of moderately decomposed organic matter and leaves, twigs, and roots. Layers to 2m deep range from very dark grayish brown to brown sandy loam with weak medium and coarse granular structure that is friable. A few fine flakes of mica can be found and these soils are very strongly acid. (Source: NRCS Web Soil Survey.)Wild material2166142WLP 3433

This location was accessed from the east where Miller Avenue meets the fire road, approximately 2 kilometers away. There is no vehicular access to the collecting area. Becoming locally uncommon. This local population is likely to be extirpated in the next 20-30 years. This collector has hiked through this area for more than 35 years and seen dramatic changes in the population. When first observed, Kalmia latifolia was a dominant understory shrub on south- to west-facing slopes beneath a mature forest canopy. Over the years, at least one forest fire has significantly reduced the population, along with a continuing increase in deer populations, resulting in catastrophic browse damage. The absence of a mature forest canopy and periods of drought have almost certainly also resulted in decline of this population. While collecting seed from scattered mature plants well above deer browse levels, this collector also noted that there was virtually no recruitment taking place.39.32811200, -77.72242400287Plants are growing in part-shade to shade of a deciduous upland, very rocky, and dry forest community.

Plants generally grow in part shade to full sun, but perform best and fruit more heavily in full sun where there is abundant access to moisture. The remnant woodlands exist mostly along the steep slopes, wetlands and seeps of seasonal and year-round creeks flowing into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. The woodlands are bordered by numerous housing developments and land converted to meadows; hence there is significant first order edge that is heavily impacted by invasive plant intrusion. Despite this fact, Acer negundo is highly competitive and competes well.

This species was common, but generally restricted to steep rocky outcrops.40.63813900, -75.98835200420Plants are growing from shade to full sun on a dry-mesic to very dry, well-drained upland/montane habitat characterized by an upland mixed deciduous and evergreen forest that is very rocky. Even so, most heavily fruited plants were growing in part shade to almost full sun. All of the plants found in this habitat go through periods of drought during the growing season due to the limited litter/soil layer in which moisture can be held. The underlying geology of this area is of Silurian origin and comprised of Shawangunk Formation. This formation is primarily light- to dark-gray, fine- to very coarse-grained sandstone and conglomerate containing thin shale interbeds.

Gray Pennsylvania, United StatesNA2021COLLECTED11/16/2021Plants growing in woodlands along a small unnamed creek corridor dumping into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek in Goddard Park, West Grove Pennsylvania, off of Wickerton Road, Chester County.39.81063861, -75.82750806124Plants are growing in a range of habitats from mesic woodlands to saturated streamside settings of deciduous woodlands that drain toward the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. Plants grow in high understory shade with dappled to indirect sunlight. The only female (fruiting) plants were found in areas along the creek where soils are moist to saturated. Numerous male specimens were found in the areas described above. Soils: Soils found in the areas where this collection was made are comprised primarily of Baile silt loam (Ba), Hatboro silt loam (Ha), and Glenelg silt loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes (GgC). Baile silt loam consists of very deep, poorly drained, moderately low to moderately high saturated hydraulic conductivity, soils on upland depressions and footslopes that were formed in local alluvium over residuum from acid crystalline rocks, chiefly mica schist and granitized schist and gneiss; slope ranges from 0 to 8 percent. Hatboro silt loam consists of very deep and poorly drained soils formed in deposited alluvium derived from metamorphic and crystalline rock. They are on flood plains. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Glenelg silt loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum weathered from micaceous schist on uplands of the Blue Ridge and the Northern Piedmont. This soil is undifferentiated, mostly poorly drained sandy bottomland soils intermingled with decomposing organic litter and eroded silts and clays due to erosion.

Plants are growing in high understory shade with very little direct sun during most of the day. The remnant woodlands exist mostly along the steep slopes, wetlands and seeps of seasonal and year-round creeks flowing into the Middle Branch White Clay Creek. The woodlands are bordered by numerous housing developments and land converted to meadows; hence there is significant first order edge that is heavily impacted by invasive plant intrusion. Soils: Soils are classified as Glenelg silt loam, 8 to 15% slopes (GgC); this series consists of very deep, well drained soils formed in residuum weathered from micaceous schist on uplands of the Blue Ridge and the Northern Piedmont. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderately high in the subsoil and moderately high to high in the substratum.
