Weeks, Dendrologist Department of Forestry and Natural Resources Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907 This publication is available in color at http://www.ces.purdue.edu/extmedia/fnr.htm Introduction When most Midwesterners think of a magnolia, images of the grand, evergreen southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) (Figure 1) usually come to mind. Even those familiar with magnolias tend to think of them as occurring only in the South, where a more moderate climate prevails. Seven species do indeed thrive, especially in the southern Appalachian Mountains. But how many Hoosiers know that there are two native species Figure 2. Cucumber magnolia when planted will grow well throughout Indiana. In Charles Deam’s Trees of Indiana, the author reports “it doubtless occurred in all or nearly all of the counties in southern Indiana south of a line drawn from Franklin to Knox counties.” It was mainly found as a scattered, woodland tree and considered very local. Today, it is known to occur in only three small native populations and is listed as State Endangered Figure 1. Southern magnolia by the Division of Nature Preserves within Indiana’s Department of Natural Resources. found in Indiana? Very few, I suspect. No native As the common name suggests, the immature magnolias occur further west than eastern Texas, fruits are green and resemble a cucumber so we “easterners” are uniquely blessed with the (Figure 3). Pioneers added the seeds to whisky presence of these beautiful flowering trees. to make bitters, a supposed remedy for many Indiana’s most “abundant” species, cucumber ailments.

  • American Forests National Big Tree Program Species Without Champions
    American Forests National Big Tree Program Champion trees are the superstars of their species — and there are more than 700 of them in our national register. Each champion is the result of a lucky combination: growing in a spot protected by the landscape or by people who have cared about and for it, good soil, the right amount of water, and resilience to the elements, surviving storms, disease and pests. American Forests National Big Tree Program was founded to honor these trees. Since 1940, we have kept the only national register of champion trees (http://www.americanforests.org/explore- forests/americas-biggest-trees/champion-trees-national-register/) Champion trees are found by people just like you — school teachers, kids fascinated by science, tree lovers of all ages and even arborists for whom a fun day off is measuring the biggest tree they can find. You, too, can become a big tree hunter and compete to find new champions. Species without Champions (March, 2018) Gold rows indict species that have Idaho State Champions but the nominations are too old to be submitted for National Champion status.

What were the historic Parent material; effects of chestnut on forest soils, and what changes may follow reintroduction of Forest restoration hybrid chestnuts? A site in southern Wisconsin provided an opportunity to examine the effect of chestnut trees on soil properties. At this site, 600 km northwest of chestnut’s historic distribution, naturalized chestnuts have spread throughout an intact mixed-species forest from nine planted trees. The site contains soil developed on a silty loess-mantled ridge that abuts sandier hillslopes, allowing the effects of individual chestnuts to be examined on two soil types. I sampled and analyzed forest floor and mineral soils beneath canopies of individual American chestnuts and the surrounding mixed-species deciduous forest on fine-silt and sandy-loam soil types. On sandy loam soils, total soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), inorganic N and net mineralization and nitrification rates were 10–17% higher beneath chestnut canopies compared to soils beneath mixed-species deciduous forest.

  • The Tree How to Identify a Linden (Tilia Spp.) the Pesticides the Pest
    The Tree Tilia cordata, the Littleleaf Linden tree is native to Europe. It has been at the center of several bumble bee kills in Oregon. T. cordata often produces more flowers than other linden trees. It also produces mannose in its nectar that may be slightly toxic. Many native bees and wasps do not have the enzyme to break down mannose. European honey bees, Apis mellifera, do not appear to be as affected by mannose; at least one theory is that because they are from Europe, they share a developmental history with T. cordata. In general, linden trees have few pest problems; aphids are listed as one of the only insect pests of Tilia trees. Tilia leaf comparison How to Identify a Linden (Tilia spp.) DURING THE WINTER/DORMANT SEASON: 1. Bark is gray-brown and on mature trees is ridged or plated. 2. Twigs are light brown to gray, or may be red-tinged. 3. Buds are prominent, single, plump and often bulge on one side, and are red-brown to dark red in color. 4. Floral bracts and fruit may remain on the tree through winter. DURING THE GROWING SEASON: 1. Leaves are singular, alternate, heart-shaped, finely toothed, and the undersides of leaves often are fuzzy. Leaves at the stem end are asymmetrically attached to the stem. 2. Flowers are attached by floral bract that is 2-to-4 inches long. White to yellow flowers with five petals in hanging clusters of five-to-seven bloom in mid-June or early July. Flowers are fragrant and highly attractive to pollinators.

Topographic patterns in the phylogenetic structure of temperate forests on steep mountainous terrain. AoB PLANTS 7: plv134; doi:10.1093/aobpla/plv134 Abstract. In rugged terrain subject to active geomorphological processes, the species composition of forest com- munities changes along topographic gradients over short distances. However, the phylogenetic structure of forests on rugged terrain has rarely been examined. Understanding such structures provides insight into community assembly rules dependent on local environmental conditions. To this end, we tested the topographic trends of measurements of phylogenetic community structure [net relatedness index (NRI) and nearest taxon index] in a catchment covered by temperate forests with complex relief in Japan. We found that phylogenetic structure changed from over-dispersion to clustering with increasing slope inclination, change of slope aspect from south to north and decreasing soil depth. This result suggested that environmental filtering tended to restrict community composition at relatively stressful sites, whereas species interaction functioned more strongly at relatively stress-free sites. Relatively stressful sites were char- acterized by early-successional species that tended to assemble in certain phylogenetic clades, whereas highly com- petitive late-successional species associated with lower NRI at relatively stress-free sites.
