| Distribution | Weakley et al. (2025) say "experimentally planted as far north as NC (and persisting and naturalizing)." There are no specimens at the SERNEC website; Weakley shows it as "rare" in the Coastal Plain, but the editors can find no specimens at SERNEC with which to populate the map. There is one collection from 1891 in Great Smoky Mountains NP, Swain County, Beardslee 56661 (MIN), but lacks an image; likely it actually is P. virginiana.
