Narrative
Blackjack oak in Iowa is extremely rare due to the species native range barely stretching across the south central and southeastern Iowa border. This accession represents genetics from southeastern Iowa in the extreme northwestern edge of the species native range and thus likely exhibiting tolerance to slightly colder, more northern regions of the Midwest. Sampled three areas: near Mooar (Sec. 5 and Sec. 8); near Argyle (Sec. 16); and near Ft. Madison (Sec. 10) where each area sampled is separated by approximately 10.00 miles. Known for being small, scrubby trees that average 30-45' in height at maturity. The species is rarely used in cultivation and in nature is frequently found on very poor, thin, rocky or sandy soils. According to local woodland owners, the species is extremely resistant to wind damage. This accession is being maintained as numerous, genetically diverse mother trees originating from three widely distanced areas in order to ensure sufficient outcrossing as well as prevention of inbreeding due to the limited abundance of the species found within the area sampled in southeastern Iowa.
