Common Nature

When I say my yard is a jungle, I mean it has all the layers of a jungle and a food forest.

* Emergent (sycamore)

* Upper canopy (walnut & hackberry)

* Lower canopy (mulberry)

* Understory trees (redbud, nannyberry, etc.)

* Shrub layer (hazelnut, privet, etc.)

* Herb layer (grasses, wildflowers, etc.)

* Groundcover (wild strawberries, clover, etc.)

* Vine layer (wild grapes, cypress vine, etc.)

* Root layer (crosne knotroots, sunchokes, etc.)

* Fungus layer (various inedible species)
