Source History
Collected
12 July 2022.
Fremont County, Iowa, United States
Locality: Waubonsie State Park located north, northwest of Hamburg, T68N R42W Sec. 29 and Sec. 32.
Coordinates: 40.6755, -95.6869 (Map it)
Elevation: 355m.
Georeference protocol: Lat/lon determined by GPS
Habitat: Wild Habitat
Environment description: Mid slope (ranging from 10-30 degrees) to base of slopes and along all drainages and valleys of deciduous woods.
Number of plants sampled: 10
Associated species: Juglans nigra, Celtis occidentalis, Ostrya virginiana, Quercus muehlenbergii, Asimina triloba, Robinia pseudoacacia, Quercus velutina, Quercus macrocarpa, Symphoricarpos orbiculatus, Laportea canadensis, Vitis riparia, and Ageratina altissima
Comment: Sampled ten specmiens as fruits and additional specimens as leaf tissue only. Timing of collection was at peak fruit maturity. Fruits on some specimens were very black yet rather persistent, while other specimens with similar fruit color dropped readily with minimal disturbance. Coordinates provided refer to specimen 172-1. Coordinates for all mother trees sampled may be provided upon request. Specimens 172-10 and 172-14 are presumed hybrids based on bark and glossy leaf characters.

Narrative
Specimens in nature displayed the following morphological characters: acuminate leaf tips, impressed veins, pubescent upper and lower leaves, flaky bark (often with tiny pin holes (insect emergence holes)), cordate leaf base, and umbrella-shaped growth habit. M. rubra specimens noted ranged in size from 1"-23" inches DBH with some of the tallest specimens reaching 70' in height. The largest specimen sampled (172-13) measured approximately 23" DBH. Estimated hundreds, perhaps a thousand specimens noted within the park with very little representation of hybrids or Morus alba. Representation of M. rubra outside of park boundaries is near completely absent and the presence of hybrids and M. alba is extremely evident. Soluble solids content from fruits collected in the wild ranged from 19.0-32.9 degrees Brix. This range of Brix values is likely a result of genetic diversity and also variation in maturity of fruits. Fruits selected for Brix measurements were black in color. The specimen sampled with the highest Brix value was 172-9. All M. rubra specimens noted were exhibiting determinate growth compared to local hybrids and M. alba, which were still actively growing with newly emerging leaves.
