Greg, It is nice to see a post from someone from our countries least forested state. There are I am sure some respectable trees in the state especially in some of the river valleys. Some areas of Teddy Roosevelt National Park had forest cover and some old looking trees when I was there a few years ago. There are those strange linear forests between fields up that way as well. Yesterday I came across a group on Facebook entitled something like "The telephone pole is not the state tree of North Dakota." It would be great to get some tree or forest reports from North Dakota for both the Western Native Tree Society and the Eastern Native Tree Society.
I have looked at some of the literature from the ND forest Service on the web: North Dakota State Forest pamphlet: http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/lbakken/forest/stateforest/doc/StateForestGuide-03.pdf North Dakota Tree Information Center http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/aginfo/trees/handbook.htm North Dakota Forest Service http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/ndsu/lbakken/forest/ Ed Frank "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Dwarf chinkapin oak has tolerated in excess of -42 ft here in North Dakota where I now live. There is a lot of interest in using it as a wildlife type plant.
