I'm native to NY state and to Tompkins County,NY

I bloom early in the spring with one single flower.

My flowers are important for early pollinators.

I make a lovely woodland addition.

I produce one yellow, apple-like fruit that is a favorite of box turtles and also eaten by raccoons and opossums.

I die back later in the summer.
