Stress & Pest Impacts On Oxydendrum arboreum / Sourwood
University Outreach Publication
Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum) is a native tree in forest areas of the Eastern United States. It can be found in other locations as landscape specimens in gardens and arboretums.
The native range of sourwood is given in Figure A. Northern Illinois, Long Island New York, and Texas have populations of sourwood identified outside the accepted native range. As sourwood is found farther from the center of its native range, it stature decreases and its environmental stress components increase. Light, heat, water, and soil oxygen are the key stressors. This publication lists some of the specific problems associated with sourwood.
