Description

Distribution

Ecology

Habitat

Growing in what was previously upland sandhill longleaf pine- wiregrass ecosystem. [1] In Heuberger’s study, they observed Asiminia in burned and in unburned patches. Frequently burned longleaf pine-wiregrass uplands (Ultisols) and longleaf wiregrass sandhills (Entisols) in north Florida and southern Georgia. Asimina angustifolia is predominately in the native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia (Ostertag and Robertson 2007).
