Growing in association with Rhus sp., Liatris aspera (white and purple), Juniperus virginiana, Quercus rubra, Quercus macrocarpa, and Schizachyrium scoparium.Wild materialSpecimens at the collection site in nature are represented as very large/old plants, approximately 5.0 meters in height with trunk diameters to 25.0 cm. After 15 years of growth in cultivation in central Iowa, specimens average approximately 3.5 x 3.5 meters. This species is reported to sucker, but all specimens of this accession have shown no signs of suckering while grown in cultivation. Peak fall color tends to occur during the second week in October in central Iowa ranging from reddish-orange; brownish-red, brownish-orange, etc. Acorn production tends to be consistently heavy every year and can initiate production after three years in age. Peak fruiting tends to occur between 5-15 of September in central Iowa, which is approximately 1 week prior to Q. muehlenbergii. Acorns are extremely favored by deer, rabbits, raccoons, turkeys and bluejays. Quercus prinoides in Nebraska is extremely rare. To date (2022), only two counties totalling four localities have recorded this taxa including Richardson County: two areas near Salem; one in Indian Caves State Park and one in Nemaha County described as near Nemaha. Species tends to be restricted to dry rocky upland hills and bluffs. Recent research (Hipp et al., 2019), noted that using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean and non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination did not separate individuals of Q. muehlenbergii and Q. prinoides as distinct species. However, W. M. Keith Jr. (1957) states that "Q. muehlenbergii never spreads vegetatively and acorns are rarely borne until it has attained small tree size whereas Q. prinoides bears at extremely small sizes, usually a foot or so high and spreads vegetatively via rhizomes". Therefore, genetics of this accession most likely represents the hybrid of Q. prinoides x Q. muehlenbergii under the assumption that the true Q. prinoides is represented only by those that clonally spread via rhizomes. Further research is needed to clarify the identity of Q. prinoides. This accession is therefore being listed as Q. hybr. Specimens are clearly "dwarf" or shrubby in growth habit and produce acorns at extremely early ages, but do not spread via rhizomes. 1543547Ames 23752

Conservation assessments in North America indicate current (2026) and future concern for the species including Michigan (threatened); Massachusetts (endangered); Ontario Canada (endangered); with NatureServe's 2025 global G5 rank due to genetic swamping and habitat pressure. Red Mulberry seems to be extremely localized to moist, floodplain areas that are high-quality bottomland forests. This accession represents genetics collected from the northwestern edge of the species native range. Specimens sampled in nature displayed the following morphological characters: acuminate leaf tips, impressed veins, pubescent upper and lower leaves, flaky bark (often with tiny pin holes (insect emergence holes)), cordate leaf base, and umbrella-shaped growth habit. M. rubra specimens noted ranged in size from 1"-23" inches DBH with some of the tallest specimens reaching 70' in height. The largest specimen sampled (#172-13) measuring 23.25" DBH. Estimated hundreds, perhaps a thousand specimens of M. rubra noted within the park with very little representation of hybrids or Morus alba. Representation of M. rubra outside of park boundaries is near completely absent and the presence of hybrids and M. alba is extremely evident. Soluble solids content from fruits collected in the wild ranged from 19.0-32.9 degrees Brix. This range of Brix values is likely a result of genetic diversity and also variation in maturity of fruits. Fruits selected for Brix measurements were black in color. The specimen sampled with the highest Brix value was #172-9. All M. rubra specimens noted at time of sampling (12 July 2022) were exhibiting determinate growth compared to local hybrids and M. alba, which were still actively growing with newly emerging leaves. The first study (Adhikari et al. 2026) on the mitogenome of M. rubra utilized sample #172-13 (Ames 35887 Tree #13) reporting 359,221 base pairs (bp) long with 45.8% GC content, comprising 57 genes: 32 protein-coding, 21 transfer, and four ribosomal RNAs.2138220Ames 35887

Described by Charles Sprague Sargent (first director for the Arnold Arborteum) as "heavy, hard, very strong and tough, closely grained, and susceptible of receiving a beautiful polish". Historically noted for a variety of uses in woodworking including furniture, heavy agricultural implements, timber frame buildings, pianos, hockey sticks, and hand tools. Ulmus thomasii is extremely drought tolerant, adaptable to very calcareous soils, and compared to U. americana or U. rubra has a very conservative growth rate requiring minimal attention in regards to pruning. Rock elm naturally tends to develop into a nice structural specimen in the landscape, unlike other fast growing cultivars in the nursery trade needing frequent attention. Rock elm has very fissured bark and is well known for maintaining a strong central leader resulting in a very attractive, pyramidal form. Despite many literature sources stating that "wings" on the stems are a key identifiying characteristic, this trait is not reliable and many genotypes may completely lack "wings" on the stems. While growth habit and morphology of dormant buds (very pointy) are good traits to help aid in identification, fruits are the best way to confirm identity. Fruits are densly pubescent, often described as "inflated" and generally reach maturity a couple weeks after Ulmus rubra and Ulmus americana. U. thomasii inflorescences are rather distinguishable from other Ulmus in being pendulous. Fruits are extremely prized treats for many birds, where fruits are often "robbed" prior to full maturity. Fruits are also highly prized by many other animals such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, turkeys, etc. and are generally consumed within hours after fruit abscission. The native range of U. thomasii is concentrated in the northeastern United States and into Canada with disjunct populations documented in northwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas (Little, E. L. Jr. 1971). In the 1895 Silva of North America (vol. 7) it was stated that, “The value of the wood of the Rock Elm threatens its extinction and most of the large trees have already been cut.” Today, while rock elm is rather rare, especially in areas near the edges of its range, many states list the species as endangered or threatened warranting preservation efforts. Genetics of this accession would be representative of the species northwestern edge of its native range. Majority of specimens noted did not have characteristic "wings" on the stems and measured approximately 20" DBH or more with a few specimens nearing 30". Heights estimated between 70-90'. Rock elm in this area could be classified as locally abundant. 2167953Ames 36251

Very steep, moist, north-facing slope. Wild materialBebb's willow, Salix bebbiana, is a tight, clump forming, multi-stemmed shrub that can reach up to 25' in height that forms a rather distinct, mounded growth habit. Native to North America, the native range covers mostly Canada, but extending south into the northeastern US and also the Rocky Mountains range stretching as far south as New Mexico and Arizona (Little, E. L. Jr. 1977). In Iowa, this species seems to only be known from northeastern Iowa. Salix bebbiana can be found in a variety of habitats from pond margins/swamps to even moderately well-drained open fields. The female capsules are long (5-9 mm) with a very slender beak held on the longest stalk of any N. American Salix. This accession represents genetics from northeastern Iowa at the southern edge of its range in northeastern N. America. Specimens sampled were estimated at 30' in height. Some of the oldest, largest specimens sampled measuring approximately 8" DBH were showing signs of decline. Immature leaves are reddish or yellow green and rather rugose. 2167645Ames 36248

Charles Sprague Sargent (first director of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Boston, MA) described the wood of Rock Elm as "heavy, hard, very strong and tough, closely grained, and susceptible of receiving a beautiful polish". Historically noted for a variety of uses in woodworking including furniture, heavy agricultural implements, timber frame buildings, pianos, hockey sticks, and hand tools. U. thomasii is extremely drought tolerant, adaptable to very calcareous soils, and compared to U. americana or U. rubra has a very conservative growth rate requiring minimal attention in regards to pruning. Rock elm naturally tends to develop into a nice structural specimen in the landscape, unlike other fast growing U. americana cultivars in the nursery trade needing frequent attention. Rock elm has very fissured bark and is well known for maintaining a strong central leader resulting in a very attractive, pyramidal form. Despite many literature sources stating that "wings" on the stems are a key identifiying characteristic, this trait is not reliable and many genotypes may completely lack "wings" on the stems. While growth habit and morphology of dormant buds (very pointy) are good traits to help aid in identification, fruits are the best way to confirm identity. Fruits are densly pubescent, often described as "inflated" and generally reach maturity a couple weeks after U. rubra and U. americana. U. thomasii flowering in central Iowa typically occurs the last week in April into the first week in May and are rather distinguishable from other Ulmus in being pendulous. Fruits are extremely prized treats for many birds, where fruits are often "robbed" prior to full maturity. Fruits are also highly prized by many other animals such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, turkeys, etc. and are generally consumed within hours after fruit abscission. The native range of U. thomasii is concentrated in the northeastern United States and into Canada with disjunct populations documented in northwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas (Little, E. L. Jr. 1971). In the 1895 Silva of North America (vol. 7) it was stated that, “The value of the wood of the Rock Elm threatens its extinction and most of the large trees have already been cut.” Today, since rock elm is rather rare, especially in areas near the edges of its range, many states list the species as endangered or threatened warranting preservation efforts. Genetics of this accession would be representative of the species southwestern edge of its native range. At the collection site in nature (Ledges State Park), out of approximately 100 specimens noted only 1-2% of specimens had characteristic "wings" on the stems. Research was executed (Moore, P., 2024) involving the core sampling of U. thomasii and U. americana specimens in Ledges State Park to make growth ring widths and basal area increment comparisons. Results determined that the average age of cored trees U. thomasii (n=4) and U. americana (n=4) of both species was roughly 80 years, excluding the exceptional case of tree #007 (Ames 36073 23ncao02 SD). Tree #007 was aged at 300 years of age and currently (2025) ranks as the 14th largest U. thomasii in Iowa measuring 21" DBH with a height of 75' 5" and a spread of 43' 5" totalling 152.21 points (Rouw, M., personal communication, 4 May 2022). The computed mean density at 𝑀𝑀 = 12% for U. thomasii was 0.80 g/cm3, and for U. americana was 0.672 g/cm3. These values are both higher than the representative values inferred from the Woods Database which are 0.755 g/cm3 for U. thomasii and 0.56 g/cm3 for U. americana. To date, there is little to no information regarding U. thomasii resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. Collections of U. thomasii at the Arnold Arboretum have over-time succumbed to DED (Pruka, B., 2016). However, data recorded by Moore (2024) indicates that U. thomasii growing in central Iowa can surpass 300 years in age verifying it's long-term utilization in the landscape. 2142915Ames 36073

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.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Manor loam, 25 to 60 percent slopes, very stony. The soils in the collecting area originated as residuum, weathered from the micaceous schist exposed geology and are generally considered coarse-loamy, micaceous, mesic typic dystrudepts that are very acidic and well-drained. There is a variable depth of soil depending upon the steepness of slopes. Some areas contain significant exposed Peters Creek Schist overlain by a highly decomposed organic mat intermingled with a dense root mat of woody and herbaceous plants.

In Iowa, there are scattered populations in a few northeastern counties and also a very small disjunct population in central Iowa (Hardin County, Ames 32758) and also one in southeastern Iowa (Muscatine County, Ames 35635). This accession represents genetics from "legacy" specimens from northeastern Iowa in Backbone State Park (Delaware County). Although a significant number of P. strobus were planted at this park in the 1920's a significant number of native specimens still exist throughout the park typically found on extreme topographical features such as steep slopes and rock outcroppings. Genetics from this site likely represents the extreme southwestern edge of the species native range. Genetics may likely be adapted/tolerant to drought and also late winter/early spring extreme temperature fluctuations.

In Iowa, there are scattered populations in a few northeastern counties and also a very small disjunct population in central Iowa (Hardin County, Ames 32758) and also in southeastern Iowa (Muscatine County, Ames 35635). This accession represents genetics from northesastern Iowa in White Pine Hollow (WPH) in Dubuque County and is known to harbor the largest stand of white pine in Iowa dating back to the 1870's. WPH was the first woodland in Iowa to be dedicated (1967) as a state preserve and was previously known to contain Iowa's oldest white oak with a core date estimated back to the year 1580 (Duvick and Blasing 1983). WPH is home to the largest native specimen of Pinus strobus measuring 11’1.5” circumference, 142’ tall, and 44’ spread for a total of 286.3 points (Rouw, M., personal communication, 21 September 2020). “In an assessment of 92 of the largest white pines (native and cultivated) across Iowa, 68 occur in WPH. Out of 40 that exceed a height of 130', 38 are found in WPH with seven of those exceeding 140' and two surpassing 147' (Rouw, M., personal communication, 18 September 2020). The site is also the location of height records (Iowa) for several tree species including Ulmus americana 108', Tilia americana 105.5', Acer saccharum 109', Quercus alba 107', and Carya ovata 109’ (Rouw, M., personal communication, 18 September 2020). P. strobus in WPH is the dominant overstory species specifically in areas next to ravines/valleys and some immediately adjacent uplands. P. strobus from this site represents the extreme western edge of the species native range. Genetics may likely be adapted/tolerant to drought and also late winter/early spring extreme temperature fluctuations.

Charles Sprague Sargent (first director of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Boston, MA) described the wood of Rock Elm as "heavy, hard, very strong and tough, closely grained, and susceptible of receiving a beautiful polish". Historically noted for a variety of uses in woodworking including furniture, heavy agricultural implements, timber frame buildings, pianos, hockey sticks, and hand tools. U. thomasii is extremely drought tolerant, adaptable to very calcareous soils, and compared to U. americana or U. rubra has a very conservative growth rate requiring minimal attention in regards to pruning. Rock elm naturally tends to develop into a nice structural specimen in the landscape, unlike other fast growing U. americana cultivars in the nursery trade needing frequent attention. Rock elm has very fissured bark and is well known for maintaining a strong central leader resulting in a very attractive, pyramidal form. Despite many literature sources stating that "wings" on the stems are a key identifiying characteristic, this trait is not reliable and many genotypes may completely lack "wings" on the stems. While growth habit and morphology of dormant buds (very pointy) are good traits to help aid in identification, fruits are the best way to confirm identity. Fruits are densly pubescent, often described as "inflated" and generally reach maturity a couple weeks after U. rubra and U. americana. U. thomasii inflorescences are rather distinguishable from other Ulmus in being pendulous. Fruits are extremely prized treats for many birds, where fruits are often "robbed" prior to full maturity. Fruits are also highly prized by many other animals such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, turkeys, etc. and are generally consumed within hours after fruit abscission. The native range of U. thomasii is concentrated in the northeastern United States and into Canada with disjunct populations documented in northwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas (Little, E. L. Jr. 1971). In the 1895 Silva of North America (vol. 7) it was stated that, “The value of the wood of the Rock Elm threatens its extinction and most of the large trees have already been cut.” Today, since rock elm is rather rare, especially in areas near the edges of its range, many states list the species as endangered or threatened warranting preservation efforts. Genetics of this accession were collected on private property in north central Illinois (Kendall County) from a localized population in nature represented by 10-16" DBH specimens with little to no signs of decline.1963391Ames 34208

Deciduous forest. Wild materialThe native range of Populus grandidentata is concentrated througout the northeastern United States with disjunct populations in far south as Kentucky and as far west as central Iowa (Little, E. L. Jr. 1971). Bigtooth aspens are known to be fast-growing trees, making for a quick source of shade in the landscape. As a pioneer species in nature, P. grandidentata is adaptable to a wide range of environments but is considered to be slightly less adaptable than quaking aspen. However, bigtooth aspen is more resistant to canker diseases than quaking aspen (Laidly 1990), potentially making it slightly longer-lived. Bark on big-tooth aspens is generally greyish to greyish-yellow or olive-green compared to quaking aspens where bark is typically white to greyish-white. Leaves and leaf serrations are larger, and the degree of suckering is lower in big-tooth aspens. Both species are well known for their leaves to quake or tremble as the lengthy petioles allow leaves to swivel in the slightest amount of wind. Populus use is well-documented throughout the world and encompasses a wide range of products including energy feedstock, wood chips for pulping fibers, veneer logs, agro-forestry, and phyto-remediation as well as several other environmental applications. Interspecific hybrids of P. grandidentata and P. canescens have superior performance in yield; Hypoxylon canker resistance; and rooting ability compared to pure, N. American aspen genetics. This accession represents genetics acquired from the Des Moines River Valley of central Iowa and considered a disjunct population. P. grandidentata is infrequent to somewhat common throughout parts of the Des Moines River Valley, but very localized. The next closest, native population would be found in Hardin County (Iowa) approximately 50 miles to the northeast near Eldora. In central Iowa, this accession has been noted to have excellent, yellow fall color that typically peaks in mid-October (e.g. 21 October 2015). Fruits usually mature in early May (e.g. 3 May 2017) coinciding with flower initiation on local genotypes of Prunus virginiana. Specimens sampled in nature measuring approximately 60' in height and 16-22" dbh. Due to this accession originating from the western and southern edge of the species native range, it is suspected that this accession would have excellent heat and drought tolerance compared to genetics from areas in the northeastern U.S. 1949856Ames 33965

Moist deciduous woods.Wild materialFormerly known as Viburnum trilobum, American highbush cranberry (V. opulus var. americanum) is a North American native shrub that is utilized as an important ornamental and conservation plant that is also harvested as a minor fruit crop (jams/jellies). In nature, this variety is generally found in moist habitats typically along stream banks and swamps where ample moisture is readily available. The native range of V. opulus var. americana is concentrated in the northeastern United States and into Canada (Little, E. L. Jr. 1977). Attractive ornamental characteristics includes showy lacecap flowers in spring and bright red fruits and foliage in the fall. Fruits are tart with a hint of sweetness. The European highbush cranberry (V. opulus var. opulus) is nearly identical to American highbush cranberry other than small glands (<1 mm) on the petiole making the exact determination very challenging resulting in common misidentifications. A major difference between the American and European highbush cranberries is that the European variety produces unpalatable fruit. Recent research has shown that American and European highbush cranberries are genetically distinct and that plants of hybrid origin are uncommon (Tork et al. 2025). Vigorous early spring growth and good tolerance to late spring frosts. Genetic analysis from Tork et al. 2025 confirmed that genetics of this accession represents American highbush Cranberry (Viburnum opulus var. americanum). This accession represents genetics from northeast Iowa and thus the extreme western edge of the species native range. 1927436Ames 32966

Slopes averaging 60 degrees. Northern and eastern aspects. Localized to bluffs above Iowa River.Wild materialThe native range of Pinus strobus is concentrated in the northeastern United States extending south into the northern edge of Georgia and west to central Minnesota. In Iowa, scattered native populations exist in a few northeastern counties as well as small disjunct populations in central and southeastern counties (Little, 1971). This accession includes genetics from legacy mother trees located in Fallen Rock State Preserve and nearby private property to the south. This area is near Pine Lake State Park, which in 2009 was devastated by a severe hailstorm of "supersized softballs" resulting in significant cambial damage to many species of trees. Damage to the majority of P. strobus specimens throughout the area was so severe that losses occurred immediately. Additional losses in subsequent years continued to occur likely due to additional stress by drought and destruction by bark beetles. The loss of approximately 75% of the P. strobus specimens at Pine Lake State Park was attributed to the 2009 hailstorm prompted efforts to preserve genetics of the white pines here. In 2014, specimens in parts of Pine Lake State Park and also one specimen at Fallen Rock State Preserve were sampled (Carstens, J.) as seeds from specimens ranging in size from 9.25 inches to 31.75 inches d.b.h. However, in 2021, it was determined (Place, A. pers. comm. 24 February 2021 and Carstens, J. & Sherwood, A., pers. observations 1 March 2021) that likely most if not all of the specimens in Pine Lake State Park are planted specimens of unknown origin because P. strobus specimens located at the far east end of Lower Lake (south side) were noted (Carstens and Sherwood, pers. observations 1 March 2021) growing with uncharacteristic associated taxa including Acer saccharinum and Gymnocladus dioicus. Two documents that support these observations includes: 1. Letter signed by Louis H. Pammel (March 25, 1925) to G.B. McDonald of the Iowa State University Forestry Department asking for 200 white pine to be planted at Pine Lake. 2. "Trees to Be Set Out by CCC Workers" in the Eldora Herald (May 9, 1935) referencing the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) to plant “1,000 white pines at Pine Lake State Park". Therefore, if obtained, increment borer measurements of specimens that are 94 years of age at present (2014) or older would suggest those as being true, native remnants. Documents that supports the position of remnant specimens at Fallen Rock State Preserve includes: 1. "Picturesque Drives About Eldora", in the Eldora Herald (December 8, 1910) by Clara Estabrook stating "Miss Stoddard of the Iowa Falls school says these (only 11 trees left) are the only native pines (those restricted to the sandstone cliffs) found in Hardin County" and suggested a movement to have them preserved. 2. Forest Flora of Hardin County (1899) by L. H. Pammel stating that the Iowa valley serves as the western limits for white pine and also refers to David D. Owen's geological report from 1839 indicating the occurrences of white pines on the summits of the hills along the Iowa River. In addition, a photo of white pines growing at Steamboat Rock taken by L. H. Pammel was featured on the front page of the 1919 report of the State Board of Conservation titled "Iowa Parks: Conservation of Iowa Historic, Scenic and Scientific Areas." Due to the significant presence of planted specimens of unknown origin in Pine Lake State Park and surrounding private properties, samples collected in 2014 as seeds may likely contain genetics (pollen donors) from specimens of unknown origin. This resulted in the resampling of specimens in 2021 (USFS - IAHA#'s) and 2023 as dormant scions that are from locations known to be untouched by the CCC and thus represent true, remnant specimens. To date (2021), there are only eight legacy specimens left in this population (four specimens at Fallen Rock State Preserve and four specimens at the nearby private property). The largest specimen of P. strobus (Ames 32758) is #IAHA-08 located at (42.395489, -93.091652) measuring (13 May 2018) 35.65" DBH with a height of 78.33' and a spread of 26' totalling 197 points (Rouw, M., personal communication, 8 February 2023). This germplasm represents the southwestern most population of native P. strobus in Iowa and one of the western most populations in North America. Germplasm likely is adapted to Midwestern climatic extremes and potentially very drought tolerant in comparison to other provenances from the eastern or northeastern U.S. 1921270Ames 32758

In cultivation, fall color seems to vary from year to year ranging from dark purplish to bright red with peak fall color occurring around the later part of October (central Iowa). Flowers are white with peak flowering occurring in early-mid May. The range of this North American native is noted throughout the eastern and southeastern U.S. This accession represents genetics from the extreme northwestern corner of the species native range. Viburnum prunifolium in Iowa is rather rare and generally restricted and more commonly found in the extreme southeast corner of the state. This disjunct population in Taylor County (southwest Iowa) has been questioned as to whether it is a true native population or a naturalized escape. Additional V. prunifolium elsewhere in southwest Iowa has not been reported/documented. Immediately to the south of Taylor County, V. prunifolium is documented throughout most of Missouri and thus it is suspected that these genetics do represent a true native population.1708694WLP 2487

Charles Sprague Sargent (first director of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Boston, MA) described the wood of Rock Elm as "heavy, hard, very strong and tough, closely grained, and susceptible of receiving a beautiful polish". Historically noted for a variety of uses in woodworking including furniture, heavy agricultural implements, timber frame buildings, pianos, hockey sticks, and hand tools. U. thomasii is extremely drought tolerant, adaptable to very calcareous soils, and compared to U. americana or U. rubra has a very conservative growth rate requiring minimal attention in regards to pruning. Rock elm naturally tends to develop into a nice structural specimen in the landscape, unlike other fast growing U. americana cultivars in the nursery trade needing frequent attention. Rock elm has very fissured bark and is well known for maintaining a strong central leader resulting in a very attractive, pyramidal form. Despite many literature sources stating that "wings" on the stems are a key identifiying characteristic, this trait is not reliable and many genotypes may completely lack "wings" on the stems. While growth habit and morphology of dormant buds (very pointy) are good traits to help aid in identification, fruits are the best way to confirm identity. Fruits are densly pubescent, often described as "inflated" and generally reach maturity a couple weeks after U. rubra and U. americana. U. thomasii inflorescences are rather distinguishable from other Ulmus in being pendulous. Fruits are extremely prized treats for many birds, where fruits are often "robbed" prior to full maturity. Fruits are also highly prized by many other animals such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, turkeys, etc. and are generally consumed within hours after fruit abscission. The native range of U. thomasii is concentrated in the northeastern United States and into Canada with disjunct populations documented in northwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas (Little, E. L. Jr. 1971). In the 1895 Silva of North America (vol. 7) it was stated that, “The value of the wood of the Rock Elm threatens its extinction and most of the large trees have already been cut.” Today, since rock elm is rather rare, especially in areas near the edges of its range, many states list the species as endangered or threatened warranting preservation efforts. This accession was collected in northeast Nebraska (Dixon County) at Ponca State Park representing genetics from the extreme northwestern edge of the species native range and includes genetics (#775-6) from the current (2022) state champion. In an assessment of seedlings from all mother trees sampled (Carstens, J., personal communication, 12 April 2022), #775-4 produces the most vigorous seedlings which also consistently exhibited extremely corky/winged stems on new seedlings. Seedlings from other maternal lines show both winged and non-winged seedlings within the same maternal line and seedlings from some maternal lines have no wings. 1649925Ames 27341

Typically restricted to east, west or south facing slopes at either summits or mid-slopes.Wild materialThe native range of Amelanchier arborea is concentrated in the eastern half of the U.S. (Little, 1977). This accession represents a collection of A. arborea germplasm from the western edge of the species native range, specifically the southern portion of Iowa. As of 2025, the top ten largest specimens in the state of Iowa are located at Quercus Wilderness where this accession was collected. Iowa’s largest specimen of A. arborea specimen at Quercus Wilderness was measured at 14.17" DBH, 51.83’ in height, and 27.00’ average crown spread for a total of 102.955 points (Rouw, M., personal communication, 12 December 2023). Fall color (orange-red) tends to peak in the middle of September (Iowa) with peak fruiting occurring in early May. Bark smooth, grey.1700483Ames 27962
