That tree in the middle is a story- It is a Tamarind Tree from Africa- I collected seeds off the beach while living in Liberia W. Africa when I was a kid. I've had a bunch of seeds from that time 70's early 80's- 36 years I had the seeds, and thought.....wonder if it will grow.....and there ya have it..the answer...it's survived 3 winters so far, each time wondering if it will make it...

Yes..that's a Bauhinia- standard purple flower...that I'm a day away from ripping out...also featured on the right are papaya trees that grew from another tree that dropped fruit on the ground...in other words..I didn't plant them there.

Fern tree is 3 years old there in the ground..4 years old from when I bought it...was just a little tyke- If you look close enough in this picture you can see how small it was!
