(ROGERS, Ark.) – At 2:00 pm Sunday, October 6, the Hobbs State Park-Conservation Area will host a free presentation on never before known information recently learned about Ozark chinquapin trees. A 6-person Ozark chinquapin root excavation team at Hobbs uncovered some surprising facts.
It has been commonly thought that the root system of an Ozark chinquapin mainly consisted of one large tap root. That might be true as the seedling emerges from the seed, but when that tree grows to 5 or so years old, the root system develops very differently.
Why did drought tolerant Ozark chinquapin trees die of drought when they were given 15 gallons of water twice a week? That didn’t make sense. Join members of the Hobbs Root Extraction Team as they answer this question and show images of what they found about the amazing root system of this keystone tree.
