Buckwheat-tree

        I have seen these alongside of the woods during the springtime they have drooping clusters of flowers underneath their leaves. They don't get very high as the oaks or the pines do around alabama, but they are pretty little trees, about the size of a dogwood , could be shorter.

       Like many trees in this class, they have leathery trunks and branches. Their leaves are medium length and have smooth glossy surfaces like a nice patent leather purse. The flowers on the tree remind me of drooping bells that you would have during a June Wedding. These are rather interesting trees. I have to get more in depth with you to help you understand them from my point of view.

       These trees stay green all year long, if you have one in your yard, it would be beautiful strung with white lights.  These trees are mostly about the Southern most part of the state, but can be found around Central counties.  Like the dogwood, it's found blooming in the spring time. This noxious tree doesn't take away from the environment but keeps habitat and shelter for many butterflies and moths that are borderline endangered.
