Identification of Conifer Trees in Iowa This Publication Is Designed to Help Identify the Most Common Trees Found in Iowa
Identification of Conifer Trees in Iowa This publication is designed to help identify the most common trees found in Iowa. It is based on vegetative characteristics including leaves, fruit, and bark. It is neither complete nor without possible oversights. Separate species are grouped by similar characteristics, mainly based on type and arrangement of leaves. These groups are; awl- or scale- like needles; single needles, flattened with rounded tips; single needles, square in cross section, with pointed tips; and needles in bundles or fasticles of two or more. Remember, vegetative character- istics are quite variable; use more than one specimen for comparison. Awl- or scale-like needles Juniperus Virginiana Eastern Red Cedar Leaves are dark green; leaves are both awl- and scale-like; cone is dark blue and berry-like. Thuja occidentalis Northern White Cedar Leaves are flattened and only of the scale type; cones have 4-6 scales; foliage is light green. Juniperus communis Common Juniper Leaves are awl shaped; cone is dark blue and berry-like. Pm-1383 | May 1996 Single needles, flattened with rounded tips Pseudotsuga menziesii Douglas Fir Needles occur on raised pegs; 3/4-11/4 inches in length; cones have 3-pointed bracts between the cone scales. Abies balsamea Abies concolor Balsam Fir White (Concolor) Fir Needles are blunt and notched at Needles are somewhat pointed, the tip; 3/4-11/2 inches in length. curved towards the branch top and 11/2-3 inches in length; silver green in color. Single needles, Picea abies Norway Spruce square in cross Needles are 1/2-1 inch long; section, with needles are dark green; foliage appears to droop or weep; cone pointed tips is 4-7 inches long.

Plant Profiles: HORT 2242 Landscape Plants II Botanical Name: Pinus resinosa Common Name: red pine Family Name: Pinaceae – pine family General Description: Pinus resinosa is a rugged pine capable of withstanding extremes in heat and cold. Native to North America, the Chicago region is on the southern edge of its range where it is reported only in Lake and LaSalle counties. Red pine does best on dry, sandy, infertile soils. Although red pine has ornamental features, it is not often used in the landscape. There are a few unique cultivars that may be of use in specialty gardens or landscapes.

When open grown, as in this image, the branches develop lower on the trunk creating a dense crown. Notice the foliage is concentrated in dense tufts at the tips of the branches. This is characteristic of red pine.

Selection and Care of Your Christmas Tree
Selection and Care of Your Christmas Tree People seldom realize that a Christmas tree is not a timber tree whose aspirations have been frustrated by an untimely demise. It is realizing its appointed destiny as a living room centerpiece symbolic of "man's mystic union with nature." Moreover, while it grows, it provides cover for a variety of wildlife, enhances rural beauty, contributes to the local economy and helps to purify the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. A large selection of Christmas trees is available to New York residents. Most of the trees are grown in plantations, but some still come from natural forest areas. Only the few species of trees that are commercially significant will be discussed in this bulletin. Selecting a Tree One of the joys of the Yule season can be selecting and cutting a tree. Many Christmas tree growers in New York State are willing to let the purchaser do so himself. Also, Christmas tree growers usually have a good selection of freshly cut trees at roadside stands. Such facilities assure you of fresh trees rather than trees that were cut some time ago and shipped long distances. "Freshness," however, relates to a tree's moisture content. With favorable storage and atmospheric conditions, a tree can still contain adequate moisture many weeks after harvest. Some growers control moisture loss from their products by applying a plastic anti-transpirant spray to the growing trees just prior to harvest. In New York, Christmas trees can be divided into two main groups: the short-needled spruces and firs and the long- needled pines.

Bark beetle anti-aggregation is important for tree protection due to its high efficiency and fewer potential negative environmental impacts. Densitometric variables of Pinus armandii were investigated in the case of healthy and attacked trees. The range of the ecological niche and attack density of Dendroctonus armandii in infested P. armandii trunk section were surveyed to provide a reference for positioning the anti-aggregation pheromone verbenone on healthy P. armandii trees. 2, 4, 6, and 8 weeks after the application of verbenone, the mean attack density was significantly lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P < 0.01). At twelve months after anti-aggregation pheromone application, the mortality rate was evaluated. There was a significant difference between the control and treatment groups (chi-square test, P < 0.05).

Description General: Red pine (Pinus resinosa) is a medium sized tree, up to twenty-five meters high and seventy- five centimeters in diameter (Farar 1995). The leaves are soft and flexible evergreen needles, in clusters of two, slender, 4”-6” long, dark green borne in dense tufts at the ends of branchlets. The fruit is ovoid- conic, with thin scales, becoming light chestnut- brown at maturity. The bark is thick and slightly divided by shallow fissures into broad flat ridges covered by thin loose red-brown scales (Sargent 1961). The root system is moderately deep, wide spreading, and very wind firm. Distribution: Red pine is native to northeastern © Joseph O’Brien USDA, Forest Service, St. Paul Field Office United States.

Red Pine Is Native to the North- Eastern United States and Adjacent Areas in Canada
Forest An American Wood Service Red United States Department of Agriculture Pine FS-255 Red pine is native to the North- eastern United States and adjacent areas in Canada. It is a long-lived species with some stands reaching 200 years of age. The American bald eagle often builds its nests in large old-growth red pine trees. The wood is easy to work with hand tools and holds nails and screws well. It is primarily used for structural pur- poses, but is also used for outdoor furniture and toys. Red pine is a popular Christmas tree. Figure 1.—Red pine. F-529546 An American Wood Red Pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) Edwin Kallio and John W. Benzie1 Distribution Red pine (Pinus resinosa Ait.) (fig. 1) is a native tree in the Lake States, New England, New York, Pennsyl- vania, and adjacent areas in Canada. It also grows locally in West Virginia and northern Illinois. The most exten- sive stands of red pine are in the northern Lake States and southern Ontario, where the tree is commonly found on level and gently rolling sand plains. Further east, red pine stands generally cover smaller areas and are found not only on outwash plains, but also on mountain slopes and hilltops. Although red pine occurs from sea level to more than 2,000 feet elevation, it is most common between 700 and 1,400 feet. The commercial range of red pine is a relatively narrow area a few hundred miles wide along the United States and Canadian border from the Great Plains to the Atlantic Ocean (fig.

M. Catling, S. P. Vander Kloet, and S. Basquill. 2006. An analysis of the vascular ﬂora of Annapolis Heath- lands, Nova Scotia. Canadian Field-Naturalist 120(3): 351–362. A description and analysis of the vascular plant composition of heathlands in the Annapolis valley were undertaken to pro- vide a basis for biodiversity preservation within a system of protected sites. Species presence and abundance were recorded at 23 remnant sites identiﬁed using topographic maps, air photos, and Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources records. A total of 126 species was recorded, of which 94 were native and 31 introduced. The Annapolis heathland remnants are strongly dominated by Corema conradii with Comptonia peregrina, Vaccinium angustifolium and Pteridium aquilinum var. latiusculum. A number of species, including Solidago bicolor, Carex tonsa var. rugosperma, Dichanthelium depauperatum, Lechea intermedia, Melampyrum lineare, and Rubus hispidus, were characteristic of heathland remnants, although they usu- ally contributed little to the total cover.
