We have some that are perhaps 100 years old and are like trees. It is nice to see such a wonderful example of this plant in its native habitat.

We had a number at our old house on the east side of Ocala and they always brightened up the place...the only problem was they lost their leaves in the winter and looked like sticks sticking up in the air. Some of them grew up to be big trees.
