Observation Narrative	Plot is located in an open, park-like Pinus taeda stand. Estimated tree age is 60-80 years. Sapling pines are uncommon in the understory, but several seedlings were observed in open areas. The understory is composed mainly of Persea palustris and well-grown Myrica cerifera, along with one stunted Prunus serotina. Myrica cerifera is dominant in the low shrub layer. Smilax bona-nox is abundant in both shrub and ground layers. The cone crop is abundant on most trees. Italian Hills in the middle of Parramore Island, southeast of Clubhouse Gut.
