    Beautiful tree! I am planting one far from any concrete!

    Some future generation may see mine gigantic, but I have a vivid imagination, fueled by photos such as yours. Thanks!

    Cindy, with good climate and care that tree will be big in 10 years, and extra big in 20. Mine is anout 20 years old and is huge. That with some freeze damage amd 20 ft knocked off in 2004 by a tropical storm. (Francis)

    I am so happy to hear this! I will try to get a photo posted of my little one soon.

    The PB CP should not stop you from playing or posting. I am certain I am not the only one on this board who would enjoy watching a CP in PR. My guess is that it would grow spectacularly and become gigantic.

    The PB CB is lucky to exist. Henry Flagler's widow after his death wanted it cut down because it impinged her view. The owner of the property refused and donated the land on which it resides to a church. It no longer appears to be an issue.
