Which has greater longevity, Quercus macrocarpa or Q. velutina?
Quercus macrocarpa
Allelopathic species with serious canker disease

Juniperus virginiana
Besides Populus deltoides, this floodplain tree reproduces by broken branches
Salix nigra
Of the “white oaks” this species is best adapted to the driest conditions
Q. macrocarpa
Most valuable hardwood in north america
Juglans nigra
Highly drought-tolerant subcanopy tree
Ostrya virginiana
Raw, ripe fruit widely eaten by people and wildlife, very rare if not extirpated in NYS
Diospyros virginiana
This floodplain tree is often regarded as the fastest growing tree in North America
Populus deltoides
Only conifer that occurs throughout the central hardwood forest region
Juniperus virginiana
This Quercus species is an intolerant pioneer on poorly drained , clayey, wet soils
Q. rubra
The most widely distributed maple in north america
Acer negundo
Of gleditsia tricanthos, nyssa sylvatica, prunus serotina, robinia pseudoacacia, and sassafrass albidum, which doesn’t root sprout?
Prunus serotina
inermis
Gleditsia tricanthos
of acer saccharinum, populus deltoides, quercus alba, quercus rubra, and salix nigra, seeds must go through cold stratification to germinate
Quercus rubra
this commonly planted “red oak” develops iron chlorosis on alkaline soils
Q. palustris
of fraxinus americana, juglans nigra, liridendron tulipifera, magnolia acuminata, and populus deltoides, most shade tolerant
fraxinus americana
highly prized for its valuable timber and honey, once used to make rope
tilia americana
intolerant and site sensitive tree that produces valuable timber, although a pioneer on disturbed sites, can live 400 years and reach 11 feet diameter, state tree of indiana, kentucky, and tennessee
liriodendron tulipifera
of carya ovata, cornus florida, fraxinus americana, platanus occidentalis, and ulmus americana, doesn’t have a serious insect or disease problem
Carya ovata
The least site sensitive of the juglan species, occurs on the widest range of soil conditions
Juglans cinerea
conifer that sprouts at the base and along its bole following fire
Pinus rigida
the most drought tolerant of the carya species
Carya ovata
of sassafras, black cherry, black locust, honeylocust, blackgum, and persimmon, does not root sprout
Prunus serotina
the most economically important species within the red oak subgenus
Quercus rubra
floodplain dominant, one of the largest trees of eastern US, devastated by anthracnose
Platanus occidentalis
variety inermis widely planted as street tree
Gleditsia tricanthos
this oak is naturally most abundant on wet soils, but is widely planted as a street tree
Quercus palustris
the acorn of which oak takes two growing seasons to mature
Quercus velutina
most likely oak species of prairies in the midwest
Quercus macrocarpa
alt host for a rust fungus that damages apples and hawthorne
Juniperus virginiana
the juglans species with a severe disease
Juglans cinerea
highly drought tolerant understory species
Ostrya virginiana
the most economically important species within the white oak subgenus
Quercus alba
this acer species currently occurs in the greatest number of forest types of any maple in eastern US
Acer rubrum
this maple is restricted naturally to floodplains and swamps but is widely planted as a street tree where its short life span and weak-wooded nature make it a significant liability
Acer saccharinum
this maple widely occurs naturally in the western US
Acer negundo
highly valued for timber, honey, and historically to make rope
Tilia americana
most similar to populus deltoides ecologically and biologically
Salix nigra
which has greater longevity, Q. alba or Q. palustris
Quercus alba
of black willow, eastern cottonwood, american elm,pitch pine, and yellow poplar, most shade intolerant
Ulmus americana
which is used for tight cooperage (barrels that hold liquids) Q. alba or Q. rubra?
Quercus alba
Which is used for slack cooperage? Q. rubra or Q. alba?
Quercus rubra
of black walnut, white ash, eastern redcedar, flowering dogwood, honeylocust, and black locust, the most shade tolerant
Cornus florida
Notoriously Allelopathic
Juglans nigra
most geographically widespread conifer in the region
Juniperus virginiana
Of red oaks, the most tolerant of wettest sites
Quercus palustris
root sprouting species that produces delicious fruit
Diospyros virginiana
intolerant, fast growing long lived pioneer of mesic/cove sites with long lived seeds, large at maturity
