Source History

Collected

11 July 2017.
Kentucky, United States
Locality: Griffith Woods and surrounding area approximately 6.2 miles just southwest of Cynthiana, Harrison County
Coordinates: Coordinates provided refer to the location of single mother tree #1. Coordinates for all mother trees sampled may be provided upon request. 38.3260, -84.3530 (Map it)
Elevation: 281m.
Georeference protocol: Lat/lon determined by GPS
Habitat: Wild Habitat
Environment description: Recognized as the best remnant of ancient Bluegrass woodland containing numerous mature, open-grown specimens.
Number of plants sampled: 12
Associated species: Growing in association with Juglans nigra, Vitis riparia, Carya laciniosa, Rosa multiflora, Lonicera maackia, Rubus alleghaniensis, Prunus serotina, Celtis occidentalis, Monarda fistulosa, and Robina pseudoacacia.
Comment: Very mature (150-350+) specimens. Majority of specimens showing signs of damage due to thin canopy (50% or less) and minimal (less than 2" (average)) annual growth likely due to age and likely presence of Emerald Ash Borer. Noted numerous dead Fraxinus americana. Numerous specimens approaching 100' in height.
