Fayette County, Iowa, United States
Locality: Located in both Bear Creek and Brush Creek watersheds just north, northwest of Arlington, T92N R7W Sec. 5; Sec. 6; Sec. 16; and Sec. 17 (Fairfield Township).
Coordinates: 42.7767, -91.6832 (Map it)
Elevation: 313m.
Georeference protocol: Lat/lon determined by GPS
Habitat: Wild Habitat
Environment description: Rocky ravine walls with some sampled on top or near massive boulders
Number of plants sampled: 4
Associated species: Site 1: Only two P. strobus noted: Quercus rubra, Tilia americana, Ostrya virginiana, Carya ovata, Zanthoxylum americanum, Populus tremuloides, and Acer saccharum. Site 2: Only two P. strobus noted: Taxus canadensis, Fraxinus nigra, Acer saccharum, Celtis occidentalis, Quercus rubra, Quercus alba, and Tilia americana. Plus nearby numerous, massive (30' tall) Rhus glabra. Site 3: Noted ten specimens of P. strobus: Cornus rugosa, Cornus alternifolia, Dirca palustris, Prunus virginiana, Carpinus caroliniana (abundant), Staphylea trifolia (abundant), Taxus canadensis (abundant), Tilia americana, Viburnum rafinesqueanum, Quercus rubra, Acer saccharum, Carya ovata, and Sambucus pubens. Site 4: Noted two specimens in immediate area and two additional specimens about 200 yards to the east: Massive Juniperus virginiana, Ostrya virginiana, Quercus rubra, Quercus alba, Acer saccharum, and Fraxinus nigra.
Comment: Coordinates refer to first specimen sampled. Average distance between specimens sampled is approximately 0.85 miles. Greatest distance between two trees sampled is 2.80 miles. Coordinates for all mother trees sampled may be provided upon request. While specimen #1 may be of cultivated origin, all others are believed to be "legacy" specimens based on associate species and location of specimens growing on very steep cliffs or massive boulders.

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 in southeastern Iowa (Muscatine County, Ames 35635). This accession represents genetics from Fayette County in both Bear Creek and Brush Creek watersheds. Germplasm was acquired by sampling scions from widely separated specimens and from very mature, "legacy" specimens with one specimen acquired from Brush Creek Canyon State Preserve, which may potentially represent a planted specimen of unknown origin. Brush Creek Canyon State Preserve was originally acquired in 1934 as a state park, but later dedicated as a biological and geological state preserve in 1971. Surveys at Brushy Creek Canyon State Preserve have been exectued by Eilers (1974) and Freese (2004) reporting a total of 399 species. Although Eilers (1974) did not list P. strobus in his survey, Freese (2004) reports "one white pine was located just above the shear rocky bluffs over the creek" growing in association with Carex rosea and Monotropa uniflora. One rare species at Brushy Creek Canyon State Preserve, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is listed as endangered in Iowa (Iowa's Threatened and Endangered Species 2023) and known only to occur at Brush Creek Canyon State Preserve. P. strobus from this area represents the extreme western edge of the species native range. This accession of P. strobus is likely adapted to the typical Midwestern climatic extremes and likely very drought tolerant in comparison to other provenances from the northeastern U.S.
