Trees & Shrubs of Schuylkill County

266 documented taxa of the woody plants — trees, shrubs, and woody vines recorded in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania — by iNaturalist research-grade, herbarium / USDA specimen records as of 2026-06-18 — with detailed accounts of the most notable, signature, and introduced species.

How this list is sourced. County presence is anchored to records filtered to Schuylkill County — iNaturalist research-grade observations (place 1470), with herbarium-voucher and USDA PLANTS records shown as a separate, specimen-documented tier. Observation counts are an effort-biased signal of recording activity as of 2026-06-18, not a census. Biology and identification draw on state and museum authorities; per-species links go to Wikipedia for cross-reference only.

Conservation ranks here are relayed from NatureServe / iNaturalist and are not definitive Pennsylvania ranks — confirm against the Pennsylvania Natural Heritage Program (PNHP) before relying on them.

edges, woods, and roadsides; climbs high into the canopy.
County status
introduced and invasive [S1][S7]; 29 research-grade records [S1].
Conservation status
non-native invasive; outcompetes and hybridizes with the native American bittersweet. (confirm against PNHP)

Gray (Speckled) Alder

Alnus incana — Betulaceae

Native Specimen-documented (USDA PLANTS / herbarium voucher)

Description & ID
multi-stemmed wetland shrub or small tree to ~6 m, with conspicuous horizontal lenticels ("speckles") on gray bark, doubly serrate ovate leaves, and small woody cone-like strobiles; nitrogen-fixing via root nodules. Distinguished from the county's common smooth alder (A. serrulata) by its more northern affinity and leaf shape.
Habitat
streambanks, swamp margins, seeps, and cold wet thickets.
County status
documented by herbarium/USDA records [S3]/[S16]; not yet iNaturalist-observed in Schuylkill County as of 2026-06-18.
Conservation status
native; secure regionally. The PA material is subsp. rugosa. (confirm against PNHP)

Bunchberry

Cornus canadensis — Cornaceae

Native Specimen-documented (USDA PLANTS / herbarium voucher)

Description & ID
a dwarf, creeping, herbaceous-looking dogwood only 10–20 cm tall, forming carpets; a whorl of 4–6 veined leaves below a single "flower" of four white petal-like bracts, ripening to a tight cluster ("bunch") of red berries.
Habitat
cool, moist, acidic conifer and northern-hardwood woods, mossy seeps, and bog edges — a northern species at the southern edge of its range here.
County status
documented by herbarium/USDA records [S3]/[S16]; not yet iNaturalist-observed in the county.
Conservation status
native; a cool-climate relict locally — confirm PA rank against PNHP [S4]. (confirm against PNHP)
Notes
the flower's explosive pollen release is among the fastest movements in the plant kingdom.

Red & Purple Chokeberry

Aronia arbutifolia — Rosaceae

Native Specimen-documented (USDA PLANTS / herbarium voucher)

Description & ID
thicket-forming shrubs to ~2–3 m with finely toothed obovate leaves (glandular along the upper midrib), flat clusters of small white-to-pink flowers, and persistent red (A. arbutifolia) or purple-black (the hybrid A. ×prunifolia, with black chokeberry A. melanocarpa) pomes; brilliant red fall color.
Habitat
acidic wet thickets, bog and swamp margins, and damp barrens.
County status
documented by USDA records [S3]; not yet iNaturalist-observed (the related black chokeberry A. melanocarpa IS on the iNaturalist list above).
Conservation status
native; secure. (confirm against PNHP)

Common Juniper

Juniperus communis — Cupressaceae

Native Specimen-documented (USDA PLANTS / herbarium voucher)

Description & ID
low, spreading-to-prostrate evergreen shrub (rarely a small tree) with sharp, awl-shaped needles in whorls of three, each bearing a single white band above, and fleshy blue "berries" (cones). Differs from the county's common eastern redcedar (J. virginiana), which has scale-like adult foliage.
Habitat
dry, rocky, open barrens, ledges, and sterile acidic ground — the county's anthracite ridges and old pastures.
County status
documented by USDA records [S3]; not yet iNaturalist-observed in the county.
Conservation status
native; the circumboreal species, here as var. depressa. (confirm against PNHP)

Leatherleaf

Chamaedaphne calyculata — Ericaceae

Native Specimen-documented (USDA PLANTS / herbarium voucher)

Description & ID
low, much-branched evergreen bog shrub to ~1 m with small, leathery, scurfy-scaled leaves that diminish up the stem, and one-sided racemes of small white urn-shaped flowers in early spring.
Habitat
acidic peatlands — the open mat of bogs and poor fens, often with sphagnum, cranberry, and sundew.
County status
documented by herbarium/USDA records [S3]/[S16]; not yet iNaturalist-observed in the county. A strong indicator of high-quality peatland.
Conservation status
native; locally restricted to scarce bog habitat — confirm PA rank against PNHP [S4]. (confirm against PNHP)

Small Cranberry

Vaccinium oxycoccos — Ericaceae

Native Specimen-documented (USDA PLANTS / herbarium voucher)

Description & ID
a slender, trailing, wiry evergreen subshrub of sphagnum mats, with tiny (3–8 mm) leaves whitened beneath and rolled at the margins, nodding pink "shooting-star" flowers, and small speckled red berries. Daintier in every part than the large cranberry (V. macrocarpon, which is on the iNaturalist list).
Habitat
open sphagnum bogs and poor fens.
County status
documented by USDA records [S3]; not yet iNaturalist-observed in the county.
Conservation status
native; a peatland specialist, likely rare locally — confirm PA rank against PNHP [S4]. (confirm against PNHP)
