Figure 25. These Ogeechee tupelos on the Apalachicola River floodplain (River Mile 

 15.6) are tall, straight, and large, measuring 1 m DBH (diameter at breast height) 

 although along many Coastal Plain rivers they form grotesque, many-trunked stools. In 

 the forest pictured, water tupelo is a co-dominant, and strap lily ( Crinum americanum ) 

 is a characteristic herb. 



Figure 26. Scenic Ebenezer Creek (Effingham County, GA) is a unique variant of Zone 

 with a deep lake-like channel. Cypress buttresses are abnormally enlarged.
