Another Florida native! I have three in my yard that I planted six or seven years ago. These are Large trees ultimately up to a hundred (100 ft.) feet. I love the way the bark looks. These trees are common to the southeast and bring up visions of the swamps and the old south. I'm glad I can put a few back into the scheme of things and the birds and critters love it! I hope they reach a mature height in my lifetime.

Very nice plant species blog. There's way too many species in this world, it's confusing at times :)
Fruity
Great tree, I love the texture of the bark and the green mossy bits growing on it.
