Ivy Neck 
Types 7D, 7E, and 7F at Ivy Neck 
Neck resemble Types 7A and 7B at Java 
Farm in species composition. Chief 
difference is in the habitat: from 
moderately steep south-facing slope 
and fine sandy loam soil at Java Farm 
to poorly drained level lowland and 
silt loam soil at Ivy Neck. 
Locust, Sweetgum, Persimmon, Tulip- 
tree, Red Maple. 
Immature, covers watershed of 
east fork of Scaffold Creek. Canopy 
seems to contain no Quercus velutina 
but does include Diospyros virginiana, 
Nyssa sylvatica, and Platanus occi- 
dentalis. Otherwise the same as at 
Java Farm (Robinia, Liquidambar, Ulmus). 
Understory highly variable, in- 
cludes Sassafras albidum, Cornus 
florida, Lindera benzoin, Viburnum 
prunifolium, Acer rubrum, and Carya 
cordiformis. Shrub and ground layers 
of Rubus spp., Rhus radicans, and 
Lonicera japonica. 
Type 11A, described on the next 
page, seems to be a transition be- 
tween 7D above and 11B (described 
on p. 7). 
Locust, Sweetgum, Walnut, Willow Oak. 
Immature, covers west bank of 
Cheston Creek estuary north of Type 
4B. Resembles Type 7F (p. 8a.) and 
differs from other variations of 
Type 7 in having Juglans nigra in 
the canopy. 
Canopy of Robinia pseudoacacia, 
Liquidambar styraciflua, Juglans nigra, 
and Quercus phellos. Understory of 
Robinia pseudoacacia, Cornus florida, 
and Sassafras albidum. Ground layer
