ID That Tree: Sourwood

In this edition of ID That Tree, we're going to introduce you to a native Indiana species, sourwood, which is much more common in the Appalachian mountain range, but can be found on Indiana's southern boundary across the Ohio River. Sourwood gets its name from the sour/bitter flavor when you taste it. It has alternate leaf arrangement, simple leaves, and very finely serrated margins. It can put on a great fall color show.
