Which native fall tree fruit is your favorite?
.
1. American Persimmon (Diospyros virginiana) Female trees produce edible fruits, though smaller and less tasty than Asian persimmons. Fall color is yellow green in the North, yellow to reddish purple in the South. Zones 4-9 Photo by Susan A Roth
2. Dogwood (Cornus florida) In the East, spring is largely about dogwoods. In fall, leaves turn red purple; bluebirds love the glossy red berries. Hybrids with C. kousa are more resistant to disease. Zones 6-9 Photo by Eliot Cohen
3. Washington Hawthorn (Crataegus phaenopyrum) Leaves turn orange, scarlet, and purplish in fall; stems are thorny. Glossy red fruits hang on through winter or as long as birds and squirrels allow. Zones 4-8 Photo by @robcardillophoto
