Zanthoxylum species are used worldwide for food and medicine, yet we know little about our native species. Largely regarded as a weedy tree, this is a potentially useful plant that often gets overlooked. I sought to discover and document at least ten populations in Pennsylvania using historical records. I found that the plant has often been displaced by invasives and is often not fruiting. There are many different avenues for further research into its uses.
