Nothing says fall quite like fruit and foliage!

Let’s spend some time admiring Georgia’s native plants in their fall finery. We’ll start with persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), nature’s original sour patch kid! Who got tricked as a kid? Or, as an adult! ㅤ Our native persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) is found throughout the state as a medium sized deciduous tree whose female flowers produce small fruits. The flowers are small, creamy and urn-shaped, and they hang almost unnoticed below the leaves in late spring. Persimmon is in the Ebony family and has very dark wood and attractive, blocky bark. . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia #gonative #spring
