Jack Pine
Pinus banksiana
41.878, -93.0977
Field Notes
Description:
Small pine with often twisted trunk or branches. Two needles to the bundle and small cones that usually open as a response to heat.
Habitat:
Adapted for the dry northern plains of Canada, but these were growing in central Iowa and were probably planted, perhaps as a windbreak. Though they're now in an area managed as a wildlife preserve they apparently don't often occur naturally in Iowa.
Notes:
Found along the "Jack Pine trail" at the Chichaqua bottomlands natural area. Central Iowa.
