Not too far to the south Konza prairie did some research that annual fall burns can curtail and eventually eliminate sumac from the prairie landscape. It's not perfect but fall burning often does have a detrimental effect on the woody layer in prairies and woodlands.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00056376277485604376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-24000287103934624792014-09-17T16:28:09.703-05:002014-09-17T16:28:09.703-05:00You should have gone with the Eustoma, which I'...You should have gone with the Eustoma, which I've never seen here despite USDA showing it native to Florida. Usually Florida natives will creep across the line.

It is nice to still see indicator species of high quality prairie though, like the gentians and orchids. I also feel meaning in wandering the same land that John Weaver spent so much time on, a man who should be a Nebraska legend.Gene Petersennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218275625589637009.post-20669138515743325962014-09-17T12:23:07.468-05:002014-09-17T12:23:07.468-05:00Pokeberry, chokeberry...depends upon where you are...Pokeberry, chokeberry...depends upon where you are!<br /><br />Glad your front yard challenge turned out well for you.

The thick red trunks are my favorite part for photos, once the berries are gone.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.com
