content: This individual and two others obtained as 6-8 inch tall seedlings from Burnt Ridge Nursery in Onalaska, Washington around 2010 or 2011. All three individuals began to flower in ca. 2013 and seem healthy, but they have never produced fruits. At the time of collection, the plants were less than five feet tall and growing in the ground in the yard of Stefan Lura (United States National Arboretum) in far western Prince George's County, Maryland. Soils are well-drained with high clay content (probably acidic) and individuals receive partial shade. All three are are less than 20 feet from a state highway and are exposed to plenty of atmospheric pollution from automotive exhaust, as well as somewhat elevated summer temperatures and airflow. The mature leaves of the indivividuals were green despite collection at the onset of autumn.
