Bell-shaped, yellow flowers are hidden by half-grown leaves.

Large, oval, mature leaves usually become yellow-green in fall. 

The large, orange, edible fruit attracts wildlife. 

On old trunks the bark is thick and dark-gray to almost black and broken into scaly, squarish blocks.]]> 2016-11-03 22:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/khenning13/67z6zrg0wp57/wish/135255017
