Nature

B is for Bush

Scrub Oak
Cyphomardra Betacea


Scrub Oak, as it is commonly called, is a very resilient and tough bush. It is to be found all over our valley. It produces acorns which are not quite the same size as a large oak tree would produce.
They have acorns that are bitter and have a certain amount of toxicity. So be safe when you eat acorns. Remember, "Safety first."

*For the A B See Photo Meme, I’m approaching it this way: my children will use this for their nature study. Each one has their own letter from the alphabet (starting at A) and they are to find something in nature that corresponds with that letter. They take a photo of it and place it in their Nature Study journal, as well as writing a few facts about it.
