Narrative
The 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, there are scattered populations in a few northeastern counties and also a very small disjunct population in central Iowa (Hardin County, Ames 32758) and one in southeastern Iowa (Muscatine County). This accession represents genetics from five mother "legacy" trees located in Wildcat Den State Park (Muscatine County). Although a significant number of P. strobus were planted at this park in the early 1900's a significant number of native specimens still exist as a localized grouping within the central portion of the park in the deep valleys and also one specimen on an extreme rock outcropping. P. strobus from this site 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. Specimen #1 sampled at this site is currently ranked as the 6th largest Pinus strobus in the state (M. Rouw, pers. comm. 28 February 2021) measuring 11'6" circumference; 127.5' height; and 45' crown spread (Total Points: 276.75). Accession was collected as scions in winter to capture genetics that are of known origin.
