Once the seeds are released in mid-June, they can travel up to ¼ mile on the wind! While elm can be aggressive colonizers and produce large seed crops, their numbers have been decimated by Dutch Elm Disease, which has taken out most of the older trees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843525289-GNZ4DG4G58BMVA7PM8R4/Birch.jpg Gallery - Yellow Birch Yellow birch have winged seeds that skitter expertly along the snow. The fortunate seeds that land on a mossy rock crevice, an old stump, or a decayed log with dappled light have a chance to germinate. Once they grow big enough on their elderly foundations, they often form a buttress root system that stabilizes the growing tree with roots that wrap around its base. This allows them to thrive in areas other trees can’t. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843538225-0VD9N7J6K7G8M07DV7XR/Black+Spruce.jpg Gallery - Black Spruce A cone-producing spruce tree holds its “treasure” in its crown or top. Sometimes crowns are so packed with cones that they appear to outnumber the needles at the treetop! “Seed rain” or dispersal from cones can happen throughout the year. Hot temps or fire can promote release and burned trees may continue to rain seed for a time to give an opportunity for germination to their progeny. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843568156-UXPNP2CLOG2XCSMEW5O3/Leatherwood.jpg Gallery - Leatherwood The leatherwood tends to be an underappreciated shrub in the deciduous forest understory. Their early spring flowers are pollinated by queen bumblebees, some of the earliest spring pollinators. The seeds drop in early summer into the shady leaf duff. Leatherwood thrive in what foresters call “sweet soil”--a soil with the “Goldilocks” levels of acidity, humus, and microbial life. In a word, it’s a great environment for a good start. When you see leatherwood, it can be an indicator that sweet soil is underfoot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843603984-ZY9RK7MIUQA88P043YH5/Jackpine.jpg Gallery - Jack Pine Jack Pine is a fire-dependent species. In order for the slow-growing cones to release their precious seeds, they need extreme heat. When this happens, the cones unfurl, releasing a winged seed into the air. A fire is life for the Jack Pine whose seeds thrive in the light-rich, ashen areas left by fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843699020-V5NHQ9VOWDQPLQDWAQ2Y/Red+Oak.jpg Gallery - Red Oak Red oak depend heavily on animal dispersal. Their food-rich seeds (acorns) are dropped in the second year of growth and many are taken by gray squirrels, blue jays, mice, and chipmunks, who pile them up for “someday snacks”, many of which never get raided and germinate instead, ensuring a future food court for forest animals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843664656-AVMTC325VOMPHS9JWIYV/Ironwood.jpg Gallery - Ironwood Ironwood are unique in the tree world with their complete life cycle possible in the shade of other trees. Their hop-like fruit is easy to spot and when a seed is released late in the year, their wing carries them over the duff or snow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843784599-KN3E7ZXC1U67GFWI5NUF/Black+Ash.jpg Gallery - Black Ash Black ash seeds are long, paddle-like seeds that drop and then continue maturing on the forest floor for 18 months, from fall to spring of the next year. While they wait, they mature. When ready, they can begin their lives in the shadow of other trees but before they can mature further, they need a canopy gap for light. Black ash are some of the first trees to lose their leaves and the last to leaf out in the spring–another example of how this species does things in their own time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843806849-IB0GDVVJ61GCTBJDMKTR/Red+Pine.jpg Gallery - Red Pine Red pine seeds take their time to develop in their cones high in the tree. Some remain 2-3 years before becoming viable seeds and are released from the cones. In natural succession, red pine thrive in the light-filled areas created following fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843855159-3FLMJBVRZUQ005NZ7MH0/Silver+Maple.jpg Gallery - Silver Maple Silver Maple tend to be highly productive seeds, creating many individuals in a relatively short period of time. These seeds have two large wings and the round seed ends grow in pairs like conjoined twins. Their dispersal is timed for June, when spring meltwater along riverbanks is receding. When ready to release, seeds leave their pair structure and fly on the wind as individuals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665843898231-NEVXAN2VZPLCTS6Y56YC/White+Pine.jpg Gallery - White Pine In the tree community, white pine success is often achieved with the help of nurse trees. These may be aspen, birch or other pioneer species that provide a buffering effect to some of the extremes in an environment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665844027369-RL20Y393UIT17M0IO341/White+Cedar.jpg Gallery - White Cedar White cedar seeds are released in the autumn and winter and thrive in acidic areas with lots of moisture in the soil. They are one of the only saplings that is shade tolerant and usually get their start on wet, rotting logs, swampy areas, and mossy tufts. Most seeds die from drying out— having landed in a spot that didn’t provide the precious water they require. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1665844072644-73PG55A7ZYB3424X0UI8/Pin+Cherry.jpg Gallery - Pin Cherry Pincherry seeds are known for their ability to wait. They can remain viable in the earth for 50- 100 years, a rarity for tree seeds. They wait for their forest environment to change with disruption such as a blow down or an aging tree that falls, adding light to the forest floor. When seeds are able to pick up red/blue UV light in an open canopy, germination can begin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5babae0f65019fe4d5cb4644/1610118980521-NJG6IMP16YK2LUJ7KEOJ/Beaver.jpg Gallery -
