Description: Second-growth forests on deep soils of woodlots and fencerows of calcium-rich areas in the Bluegrass Basin of Kentucky and the Nashville Basin of Tennessee. The canopy of Bluegrass Basin examples is dominated by Juglans nigra, Aesculus glabra, Celtis laevigata, and/or Celtis occidentalis, with Fraxinus americana, Prunus serotina var. serotina, Robinia pseudoacacia, and scattered Ulmus americana. In the Nashville Basin of Tennessee, the canopy is dominated by Celtis spp. (Celtis laevigata, Celtis occidentalis) with substantial Juglans nigra in some examples. Aesculus glabra may also be present. The understory may include Prunus serotina var. serotina and Quercus imbricaria.
