Narrative
At least one spontaneous seedling discovered growing on the sloping interface of woodland and maintained plantings in bed AC-J-08; no other mature plants werre noted nearby, and it is presumably a seedling from NA 64984-H, which was a large tree growing in bed AC-J-L until 2014. That tree's origins were never clear, and although it was said to be a native specimen of H. carolina Monticola Group, that is highly unlikely. This may well be assignable to Monticola Group, like the presumptive seed parent, but ID should be confirmed later; no flowers or fruits visible at the time of accessioning on July 26, 2023. According to George Waters, there are some other Halesia trees growing in the edge of the woods below the Dogwood Collection, and these might have similar origins. The seed parent is more likely to be NA 7752, seedlings recorded growing in Freeman's nursery as H. monticola in 1955, or possibly NA 7729. Two plants (labeled "Helesia") were growing at the end of bed L (later AC-J-L) on the 1960 Garden Club of America Collection map. Information from the presumptive parent accession, NA 64984: "Native plant never before accessioned. Dated back to 1960 at least; biggest specimen on the grounds. Info: K. Conrad. [Note: Almost certainly not native to site. May have been NA 7752. -SBL]"
