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 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. Accession was collected as scions in winter to capture genetics that are of known origin.
