Cultivated Diospyros virginiana seedlings being raised for grafting Diospyros kaki scions onto. I presprout the seeds on damp paper towel then place them in “Pro-Mix” filled 1-foot deep liner pots to grow for a year. This particular seedling has a tent caterpillar on the back side of a leaf (see my prior observation). These seedlings have been out of the “ground” for about 3 weeks.
Shale barrens.
