Description
A description of Gaylussacia frondosa is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Gaylussacia frondosa is restricted to native groundcover with a statistical affinity in upland pinelands of South Georgia. [1] When exposed to soil disturbance by military training in West Georgia, G. frondosa responds negatively by way of absence.[2]
Phenology
G. frondosa has been observed to flower in April.[3]
Seed dispersal
This species is thought to be dispersed by consumption by vertebrates. [4]
