Chinese Sumac has only been marginally hardy in my Iowa location.
After the main stem died from a bad winter, there have been a lot of suckers popping up.
Iowa English Walnut
I have a few English Walnuts growing for over a decade now.
These Walnuts have not grown much over the years and still have not produced nuts for me.
Chinese Catalpa Bean Pods
Catalpas are commonly called Bean Trees because of their pods.
The Chinese Catalpa has thinner pods than the native Catalpas.
Seven Son Flower
Seven Son Flower is a beautiful, large bush I can grow in Iowa.
This is one of my latest flowering shrubs and attracts a lot of insect pollinators, like butterflies and bees.
Ripening Seaberries
Seabuckthorn is a shrubby, thorny tree, that suckers a lot.
The ripening berries are orange and have a lot of flavor.
Cornus Kousa Fruit
I noticed a lot of the Cornus Kousa fruits are getting eaten now.
I tried some of these fruit, but they weren’t very good yet.
Night Is Coming
September Melon Harvest
Most of the Melon production is in late summer and fall.
There are still hot days at this time of the year, so can eat through a lot of Melon.
Reblooming Lilac
Old Fashioned Lilacs bloom in the spring.
Though sometimes a few blooms will appear later in the year.
Developing Figs
Fig production has been good on my potted Brown Turkey Fig tree.
Next month some of the fruit should start ripening.
