Peachtree Rock in November 2015

11/28/15 - This is a local hotspot for Xeric Sandhill species of flora. The tree cover is predominantly Longleaf Pine and Turkey Oak with Southern Red Oak, Sandhill Post Oak and Bluejack Oak. I'm trying to study Hawthorns and the same species (which I'm still trying to figure out) grows out here that grows at Fort Jackson 20 miles to the northeast that is the same Xeric Sandhill environment. There's plenty of Mountain Laurel and Sand Myrtle growing out here and some of the Sand Myrtle is still blooming due to the mild fall. Sandhill Golden-aster (pityopsis pinifolia) also grows out here along with Sandhill Rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides).
