Here’s a native fruit sure to tickle your fancy.

Bright orange seeds dangle from a raspberry-colored fruit pod, what an amazing color combination! This is hearts a bustin’ or strawberry bush (Euonymus americanus). This native shrub is found throughout the state, although more likely in the upper half. It thrives in part-shade conditions where it offers modest flowers in the spring and eye-popping fruit in the fall. Birds love the fruit! . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia #gonative #spring
