Flora of Georgia and surrounding states
Piedmont Plants
While being relatively flat, the Piedmont is hilly and contains a few monadnocks that rise above the rolling plain. With the Chattahoochee River flowing through a large portion of Georgia's Piedmont, it has carried Blue Ridge plants a long way south. Some can actually be found in the Apalachicola Bluffs in Florida!
Urbanized and many rural areas of the Piedmont are largely former farm land that was abandoned as old fields now easily recognized by extensive areas of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), perhaps the signature plant of the Piedmont.
