The current map is incomplete, and the species is reported to be more widely scattered in southeast Virginia than indicated. Vouchers from established populations are needed.
- Habitat
- Commonly planted and occasionally escaped into hedgerows and mesic forests in southeastern Virginia. Escapes may occur in remote areas far from cultivated trees due to the species' bird-dispersed seeds.
