Loblolly Bay in Stuart

This is a natural Loblolly Bay Swamp in Stuart. This picture comes from the east edge of Seabranch Preserve State Park. This is an unusually diverse blend of Swamp Redbay, Slash Pine, Lyonias, Cinnamon Fern, Swamp Fern, Sweetbay Magnolia, Sabal Palms, Sedges, Grasses, Wildflowers and many other species.

If you have a moist portion of your yard with lots of organic matter, this is the kind of plant mix that will give you great pleasure. Please do not purchase Cinnamon Fern unless it is grown from spores at a trusted plant nursery. It is endangered.
