Very steep, mooist, northwest-facing slope.Wild materialNative to the northeastern U.S. and Canada, this small, understory shrub is often found in cool, wet woods. At the southern edges of its native range, the species typically is restricted to north-facing slopes and/or algific talus. Clonal thickets can develop over time as shoots tend to easily root when in contact with moist soil. This species is known to be very shade tolerant and also short-lived unless coppiced semi-frequently. The specific epithet spicatum refers to the “spiked” inflorescences. Spring flowers are white to pale yellow erect panicles that can reach close to 10 cm in length. Significant ornamental attributes include samaras that can be vibrant red in color followed by outstanding autumnal leaf colors ranging from yellow to orange to red. While significant pruning and training can result in a single-trunked specimen, new sprouts/stems will frequently be produced thus the more aptly applied term of “shrub” to this species. The genetics of this accession are from the extreme western edge of the species native range. 2168781Ames 36258

Typically straight trunked with a pyramidal crown that flattens with age. Increasing in use in the USA for Christmas tree production, but also popular as landscape, specimen trees. Known to tolerate high soil temps, low elevations, and adapted to warm and dry climates along with some resistance to Phytophthora root rot. Many studies refer to A. equi-trojani and A. bornmuelleriana separately, where A. equi-trojani covers the westernmost range found localized on the Kazdağı Mountain (Mount Ida) in northwestern Turkey and where A. bornmuelleriana ranges south from the Black Sea in the Köroğlu, Ilgaz, and Küre Mountains typically found in elevations ranging from 1024-1690 m. Despite the debate on the botanical relationship of these, Turkish (A. bornmuelleriana), Nordmann (A. nordmanniana), and Trojan (A. equi-trojani) are morphologically difficult to separate. Needle form on A. bornmuelleriana tends to be finer and more like a bottlebrush relative to the more flatter needles and flatter needle tips on A. nordmanniana (Landgren 2016). Compared to A. equi-trojani, A. bornmuelleriana has longer and wider needles and also wider cone and higher cone width/length ratio (Kurt et al., 2016). Current (2023) taxonomic classification lists both Turkish fir, A. bornmuelleriana, and Trojan fir, A. equi-trojani, under A. nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani. This accession, Bolu-Aladag, is the result of germplasm originating from the Aladag Mountain range within the Bolu Province, Turkey. 2166222Ames 36225

Indiana, United StatesNC7PLANT2023COLLECTED05/30/2023Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge located 4.37 miles east, southeast of Seymour, T6N R6E SW 1/4 Sec. 2438.94292000, -85.81076600159Edge of stagnant swamp along road. Soils rather mucky/heavy clay.Wild materialNative to North America, this deciduous tree has a native range that covers the Atlantic coastal plain concentrated in the Carolinas and also along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers along with various, tiny disjunct populations widely scattered across the southeast U.S. (Little, 1971). As an obligate wetland plant, the soils that this species inhabits is typically heavy clay (ranging 24 to 65%) and slightly acidic (soil pH ranges from 4.6 to 5.9) (Johnson 1990). Typical habitat is bottomlands/floodplains that generally have standing, shallow water. Sites that are often too wet for P. deltoides are suitable for P. heterophylla. Swamp Cottonwood can reach 10-20 meters in height and generally has an upright, rounded form. Broadly ovate leaves are rather large reaching up to 25 cm in length and nearly 15 cm wide with abaxial surfaces usually pubescent to partially glabrate. As with many other species in Salicaceae, P. heterophylla is dioecious with staminate and pistillate catkins appearing in early spring and reaching up to 10 and 15 cm in length, respectively. Seeds are dispersed in spring through early summer. Swamp Cottonwood is distinguishable from other Populus largely due to the distinctly cordate leaf bases and distinctive orange-brown pith in young twigs (McMaster 2003). Ornamental characteristics include golden yellow fall color. This taxon is essentially non-existent in the nursery trade and extremely rare in botanical garden and arboretum collections. Due to this species ability to grow in anaerobic, soils heavy in clay, this species may perform well in the typical urban landscape. Its potential to withstand extreme, drought despite being an obligate wetland plant may be similar to that found in Taxodium distichum. Genetics of this accession were collected in southern Indiana. Specimens sampled in nature were approximately 40-50' in height and were clonally (vegetative) spreading by rhizomes. 2158343Ames 36138

In Illinois, the species is only found in the southeastern portion (two-thirds) of the state. Sassafras is found in nature typically in dry to slightly mesic woodland edges and fencelines. Sassafrass is dioecious where male and female flowers are on separate plants. Noteble characteristics include oddly shaped leaves; a wide vareity of attractive fall colors (red, orange, or yellow); and stems that have an attractive spicy odor when scratched. Highly prized fruits by birds are single-seeded black drupes with bright red pedicels that mature in late summer. This accession was collected on the northwest edge (USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 5b) of the species range and may potentially contain genetics for winter hardiness exceeding that of typical Sassafras. Specimens sampled in nature ranged from 20-40' in height and 5-8" d.b.h. and the percentage of specimens suspected to be of reproductive age actually noted with fruits at the time of sampling (2021) was estimated at only 5-10%. It is possible that pollination on other potentially female specimens did not occur. During a grow out of seedlings at the North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station in Ames, Iowa in 2022, fall color on potted specimens peaked the first week in October. In comparison to Ames 35741, genetics of this accession peaked color 5-7 days prior and seedlings originating from sample 982-3 were all reddish in color, while seedlings from all other samples (982-1 and 982-2) were a mix of yellow; yellow-orange; and reddish-orange. 2120344Ames 35740

The native distribution of C. glabra includes mostly the eastern half of the U.S., with northern limits stretching into southern Michigan with western limits touching the eastern Iowa border. Pecans, C. illinoinensis, are economically important due to their utilization via nut production for human consumption, while the true hickories are extremely valuable for wildlife, wood working, and of course providing that “hickory-smoke” flavor to meats. C. glabra meats are not known for being consumed via humans, but are attractive to various birds and animals. Their presence is likely lacking in the human diet due to the difficulty in extracting the meats. Notable ornamental characteristics include newly emerging foliage that resembles a flower, and yellow/brown fall color. Foliage is typically very clean with little to no foliar diseases. Carya are not a commonly planted species via the nursery trade largely due to the presence of an extensive taproot system that makes transplanting difficult. While the average homeowner may claim “nuts” in the landscape are an undesirable trait or a nuisance, attention should be turned to the benefits of nuts in the landscape. Generally it is difficult to find nuts on the ground as wildlife quickly eat and gather them. Hickories tend to be labeled as “slow growing”, which is definitely not true. Carya are only slow growing during the first few years of establishment as growth is focused on root growth. Shortly after establishment, growth on a properly planted Carya can be considered extremely vigorous with annual growth easily surpassing two to three feet per year. All Carya are noted for being extremely drought tolerant, while C. illinoinensis, C. cordiformis, C. acquatica, and C. laciniosa are also flood tolerant. This species is adapted to extremely dry soils and should not be planted in wet soils.1940349Ames 33356

The seed that formed the original plant was obtained from an open-pollintaed A. maritima subsp. oklahomensis growing on the bank of the Blue River near Tishomingo, Oklahoma. 'September Sun' has been propagated with high rates of success from softwood cuttings by using the methods of Schrader and Graves. Ramets grow rapidly and can be 2 meters tall within 2 years. Suitable for use in USDA hardiness Zone 4a and possibly in areas as cold as USDA Zone 3a. Although the heat tolerance and minimal chilling requirement of this cultivar have not been established, it is native to USDA Zone 7a. Therefore, its useful range includes areas with mean annual minimum temperatures at least as mild as -15 C, and attempts to use 'September Sun' in somewhat milder climates are warranted. Thrives in wet soils, can survive complete inundation of its root zone with fresh water indefinitely, and is more resistant to drought than are other alders cultivated in North America. Should be planted at exposed sites only. Its symbiotic relationship with Frankia, makes 'September Sun' an excellent choice for nitrogen-poor soils. Vigorous plants that remain free of foliar chlorosis in soils exceeding pH 7 have been grown in Iowa. Mature plants are large shrubs or small trees with multiple trunks that form broadly rounded, upright canopies 7 meters tall and 5 meters wide. Trunks support more leaves and axillary shoots than are found on plants of the others subspecies. This leads to dense canopies of glossy leaves that are darker green than the leaves of all other alders indigenous to North America. Leaves display mottled blends of yellow, orange, and rich brown under autumnal conditions in USDA hardiness Zone 5a. The infructescences of 'September Sun' are medium to dark brown, cone-like strobili; each is 16-22 mm long and 11-14 mm in diameter. Strobilimature 1 year after pollination and then persist on the branches through at least one more season, providing subtle ornamental appeal throughout the year. This cultivar differs from other genotypes of its species as the fastest-growing, most densely foliated, and most symmetrically shaped individual observed in field trials with over 1000 plants.1700783Ames 27961

North Dakota, United StatesNC7PLANT2005DEVELOPEDA superior selection based upon 13 years of evaluating four accessions at four NDSU Research/Extension Centers across the state of North Dakota. This selection originated from a farm near Brinsmade, ND, where it flourished nearly a century. The site was somewhat alkaline in pH, but the tree never suffered from chlorosis due to iron deficiency, a common problem incurred by some trees in such sites. Survival rate after 13 years at four NDSU research sites averaged 90%. The other accessions averaged 79, 67, and 58% survival, respectively. Grows rapidly, produces a dense, rounded tree with very dark green, highly glossy foliage. It requires pruning, as do all Laurel Willows, to produce a single-trunked tree in nursery production. The glossiness of the leaves reflect sunlight much like a mirror, hence its name. USDA hardiness Zone 3. Shelter, shade, park, and specimen tree.1692094Ames 27971

It originated from seed collected in a bog habitat in Kane County, Illinois. Multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub selected for its unique compact, non-leggy habit, showy display of small white flower clusters, glossy foliage, abundant production of black fruit, and attractive orange to deep red fall foliage. Establishes quickly and slowly forms colonies via root suckers. Grows less than 3 feet high with a 5 foot spread in ten years. Growth rate slow to medium. Flowers are showy 2-inch-wide clusters of small white flowers; produced early to mid-May. Lustrous dark green foliage remains clean and disease-free all summer, turning an attractive orange to deep red in fall; best fall color develops on plants sited in full sunlight. Black to purplish-black fruit; 1/3 inch berrylike fruits are borne in slightly pendulous clusters; fruit can persist until late fall/early winter, although native birds can consume the majority of the fruit earlier.

Charles Sprague Sargent (first director of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, Boston, MA) described the wood of Rock Elm as "heavy, hard, very strong and tough, closely grained, and susceptible of receiving a beautiful polish". Historically noted for a variety of uses in woodworking including furniture, heavy agricultural implements, timber frame buildings, pianos, hockey sticks, and hand tools. U. thomasii is extremely drought tolerant, adaptable to very calcareous soils, and compared to U. americana or U. rubra has a very conservative growth rate requiring minimal attention in regards to pruning. Rock elm naturally tends to develop into a nice structural specimen in the landscape, unlike other fast growing U. americana cultivars in the nursery trade needing frequent attention. Rock elm has very fissured bark and is well known for maintaining a strong central leader resulting in a very attractive, pyramidal form. Despite many literature sources stating that "wings" on the stems are a key identifiying characteristic, this trait is not reliable and many genotypes may completely lack "wings" on the stems. While growth habit and morphology of dormant buds (very pointy) are good traits to help aid in identification, fruits are the best way to confirm identity. Fruits are densly pubescent, often described as "inflated" and generally reach maturity a couple weeks after U. rubra and U. americana. U. thomasii inflorescences are rather distinguishable from other Ulmus in being pendulous. Fruits are extremely prized treats for many birds, where fruits are often "robbed" prior to full maturity. Fruits are also highly prized by many other animals such as mice, squirrels, chipmunks, turkeys, etc. and are generally consumed within hours after fruit abscission. The native range of U. thomasii is concentrated in the northeastern United States and into Canada with disjunct populations documented in northwestern Missouri and northwestern Arkansas (Little, E. L. Jr. 1971). In the 1895 Silva of North America (vol. 7) it was stated that, “The value of the wood of the Rock Elm threatens its extinction and most of the large trees have already been cut.” Today, since rock elm is rather rare, especially in areas near the edges of its range, many states list the species as endangered or threatened warranting preservation efforts. This accession was collected in northeast Nebraska (Dixon County) at Ponca State Park representing genetics from the extreme northwestern edge of the species native range and includes genetics (#775-6) from the current (2022) state champion. In an assessment of seedlings from all mother trees sampled (Carstens, J., personal communication, 12 April 2022), #775-4 produces the most vigorous seedlings which also consistently exhibited extremely corky/winged stems on new seedlings. Seedlings from other maternal lines show both winged and non-winged seedlings within the same maternal line and seedlings from some maternal lines have no wings. 1649925Ames 27341

Selected from a collection of 4 bur oak accessions assembled and evaluated at the Manhattan Plant Materials Center from 1972 to 1994. Selected as a superior strain on the basis of growth rate, plant vigor, form, and seedling vigor. Broad leaf, deciduous, medium-to-tall tree reaching a mature height of 100 feet. Characterized by a broad, round, open crown, corky twigs; and thick, ridged, deeply furrowed bark. Leaves are bright green above, pale beneath with a close, fine, stellate pubescence, five to nine rounded loves, deeply incised in the middle, almost in two; oblong, the terminal half broader than the basal portion. Staminate flowers are small, in clustered, pendant catkins, while pistillate flowers are solitary to few in leaf axils. Fruit is an acorn up to 2 inches long, 1/2 to entirely encloesd in a distinctive fringed cup. Multiple use species, including multi-row-windbreaks, watershed protection, and plantings for farmsteads and parks. Its acorns are consumed by white-tail deer, squirrels, wood ducks, and other animals. Tolerant of a broad spectrum of physical and chemical soil porperties, but prefers moist, deep bottomland soils, but occurs on shallow uplands in coarse soils derived of limestone and sedimentaries to bluffs and at the edge of dry prairies. While the full area of adaptation is unknown, survival and adaptation ranges from the Panhandle of Texas, to central Oklahoma, and north to Manhattan, Kansas. The potential area of adaptation includes most of Oklahoma, eastern Kansas, and eastern Nebraska. For additional information, view the 'Lippert' USDA-NRCS Brochure1613053Ames 26202
