Field Notes

Description:

This heavily-spined tree is found statewide in habitats ranging from bottonland to uplands. (There is an ornamental thornless vartiety too.) It is an initial colonizer of cleared forest areas, and its establishment is the first step toward succession to climax forest. Here are seen the (unripe) characteristic long twisted seed pods.

Habitat:

Fence row vegetation on land above the riverine terrain of South Creek in Springfield, Missouri.
