What's happening in the field?

At the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station

Ozark Chinquapin

July 5, 2011 by Marilyn Odneal

Earlier I looked at the Ozark Chinquapins in John Avery’s planting at the station and could not figure out where the female flowers were. Now that they have begun developing after pollination I can see that the female flowers are actually on the catkins along with the male flowers. I have also read that the female flowers may be on smaller, separate catkins at the base of the male ones.

The Ozark Chinquapin catkin has the developing nuts at the base and the dried male flowers at the base.
