Tennessee · provisional Quercus Score

Calculated with the same rules as North Carolina, using Tennessee host-range and conservation-rank inputs. Native-status evidence is shown separately.

Baseline 77; additional insect credit +1. Rarity adjustment -5 using the NC rule (unranked: −5; final score floor: 5). Missing records do not establish zero ecological use.

Native to Tennessee (state-specific source). Tennessee yard-fit calculations are not available yet.

Also available: North Carolina assessment. Both assessments use the same scoring rules with the evidence shown for each state.

County occurrence is not proof of native range or yard suitability. A missing record does not establish absence.

Growing conditions

Full sun to light shade; wet to moderately dry moisture level; adapted to a wide range of soils including clay; moderately acid to neutral pH.

Native Region: Occurs in 12 counties and is concentrated mostly in the Ridge and Valley and the Blue Ridge provinces. UT Smart Yards source

Native-status evidence

Combined TN–KY atlas flag: Y. A regional flag alone does not settle Tennessee native status.

Combined-source assessment

Native to Tennessee (state-specific source)

A TN-specific UT native-guide page or an exact entry in the Tennessee rare-plant list supports a direct source claim. Otherwise, TN occurrence plus an atlas native flag and exact-name native evidence from NC flora or USDA L48 supports a provisional state inference. No one regional claim or occurrence alone establishes TN nativity; NC and L48 claims retain their actual scopes.

UT Tennessee Smart Yards native-plant guide: native (TN). Native Region: Occurs in 12 counties and is concentrated mostly in the Ridge and Valley and the Blue Ridge provinces.

NC vascular flora: native (NC).

USDA PLANTS: native (L48). CAN:N L48:N

TN–KY Plant Atlas: native (TN–KY).
