Chestnut Brain
I like the pattern on Chestnuts.
American Persimmon Fruit
American Persimmon(Diospyros virginiana) has attractive orange fruits in the tree at this time of the year. Wildlife love the fruit and the goats would eat it, too if given a chance.
Shagbark Hickory Nuts
Shagbark Hickory(Carya ovata) nuts are small. But the nuts can be in plentiful supply in the fall and taste great.
Red Delicious Ornaments
Like a Christmas Tree, the Red Delicious Apple tree stands out in the landscape. The heavy production of apples are hanging in the tree like ornaments.

Pacific Willow
The Pacific Willow is out of place in Iowa. The young willow has large leaves.
Manchurian Apricot Fruit
It doesn’t happen every year, but this year the Manchurian Apricot trees had some fruit. The fruit is alright, though these are not grafted trees, so could be better.
