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.
