 Bark; Water Locust is the poorly formed trunk with thorns in the foreground. All these photos from Knox County are from private property that can be viewed from the road, a place I call Little Cypress Swamp. It's all that's left of more than 20 square miles of bald cypress swamp, that has been cleared for farming. It's probably the furthest north in Indiana with such a mix of native southern tree species, including Bald Cypress, Water Locust, Sugarberry, and Swamp Cottonwood to name a few.
