Small tree. The only individual noted.
Habitat: Roadside edge of closed-canopy (more or less), secondary hardwood forest with a variety of canopy species. This area was formerly a corn field (until the 1960's). The canopy is composed of a variety of species, with Black Locust (Robinnia pseudoacacia), Box Elder (Acer negundo), and Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) common. Climbers, particularly Oriental Bittersweet (Celastrus orbiculatus) are very common and abundant. The shrub layer is dominated by Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellata), with Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora) and Wineberry (Rubus phoenicolasius) very common. The herbaceous layer is dominated by Japanese Stilt Grass (Microstegium vimineum).
