This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
This species was widely planted as a street tree, including far west of its native range. It produces wind-dispersed seeds prolifically, and has established in the wild in new regions; we mark some of these introduced, but the Colorado populations are nearly contiguous with the western border of its native range, so we mark them as expanded.
