@lawn2prairie: Tree bark doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it’s one of the coolest details in the woods. Some trees blend in with smooth gray or brown bark, while others stand out with wild textures and patterns. Persimmon is one of those standouts. Its bark breaks apart in chunky, rugged blocks that look like something ancient, almost like it belongs in a world full of dinosaurs instead of Midwest forests. Looking at bark is one of the easiest ways to learn how to ID trees in every season, even when there are no leaves around. Once you start paying attention, you realize every species has its own signature style written into its bark. #TreeID #NativeTrees #NatureLearning #PersimmonTree #BackyardEcology
I said persimmons before you even started talking. We’ve got a few massive ones here.

Very different from a Texas Persimmon. They look more like a crepe myrtle's bark.

I’m actually growing some persimmon trees just because my best friend said they were hard to grow from seed.

Love to know what the young ones look like. There’s one near me along a strip pit with young trees all along the bank. If I knew for sure I’d like to dig one up.
