Here is a better picture of the tree. The tree is in the understory of a larger gumbo limbo tree and seems to thrive there. It is really interesting how symbiotic relationships among plants can be sort of lucked onto when you go about planting things together without really knowing if they will either help or hurt each other. I planted the gumbo limbo in 2004 right after hurricane Charley and planted the cinnamon in its shadow the year after and they seem to have developed a relationship. It's like gardening is akin to arranging a marriage and hoping they will not soon wish for a divorce.
