Persimmon is a southeastern U.S. native tree that is easily recognized in winter by its unusual rugged, blocky bark. Female trees produce large orange-brown fleshy fruit that are edible after the first frost. Thick, dark green leaves turn a yellow fall color.

Quercus palustris
Although often confused with the Scarlet Oak, the Pin Oak grows in nearly pure stands on shallow sites that drain poorly. Scarlet Oaks are an upland species preferring soils with good drainage. Another unique identification for this species is the mature trees branch positions. The upper branches will point upwards, middle branches perpendicular to the trunk and the lower branches slumped downward.
The Sycamore also known as the American Plane Tree or Buttonwood. This tree is easily recognized by it mottled bark that sloughs off as the tree expands. Although the bark on all trees has to stretch and split to accommodate new growth the Sycamore illustrates the process more openly.
