Diospyros virginiana (5)

Description:

Description: Српски (ћирилица)‎: Вирџинијски драгун (Diospyros virginiana) је листопадно дводомо дрво, високо до 20 метара. Кора је изразито дебела и испуцала тако да формира квадратне плочице.English: Diospyros virginiana grows through 20 m (66 ft), in well-drained soil. In summer, this species produces fragrant flowers which are dioecious, so one must have both male and female plants to obtain fruit. Most cultivars are parthenocarpic (setting seedless fruit without pollination). The flowers are pollinated by insects and wind. Fruiting typically begins when the tree is about 6 years old. : This media file is produced by Wikipedian in Residence in Botanical Garden Jevremovac in 2015. : . Date: 6 November 2014, 11:19:01.
