INTRODUCED

Leaves like alder or beech blaze orange in autumn. What a tremendous answer to an over-planted Autumn-Blaze maple! This isn't your typical Mountain Ash, tested in Ames, this tree seems suitable to the Iowa climate without known aggressive or invasive tendencies. Some introductions blend well with the native landscape. Pairs well with pines and other deciduous trees. Wild collected along a thinly-wooded ridge.

Sources

Seed comes from open-pollinated, usually wild, sources. Some seed is collected from orchards we established from such sources. While we prefer the genetic diversity of truly-wild sources, we occasionally collect from plants growing robustly in the face of climate change and harsh urban environments. If you want to know the origin story of any plant or seed lot, please reach out on our Contact page!
