The Banyon tree we see every day on our walk, the day after Milton. Now it is in pieces stacked all around the property, it did some damage to the house but no sure how much.
these huge stumps are all this is left of the beautiful Banyon Tree
it took 6 weeks to get from above to the two stumps beow.
Google map above is the view from the banyon tree that fell and the two trees to the right fell on that house during the storm and below is how they looked still standing.
how they looked on the 19th, 10 days After Hurricane Milton dumped them on the roof to the house
Beau and I stopped to talk to the man that lives in this house and while talking I noticed HOPE springing from one of the stumps.
The stump of one is 6 feet wide, you can see the height by looking at my precious Beau who is now loving his walks because the streets are line with trees down on both sides and he smells every inch
Beau and I stopped to talk to the man that lives in this house and while talking I noticed HOPE springing from one of the stumps.
I titled this Hope, only because as we walked this week, the yard is clear but for 3 big stumps.
The green growing from the dead stump is hope. There is sad part of this Phoenix Rising from the Ashes.
I asked the owner why the stumps did not go when they picked up the rest of the trees. The answer for both his house and the Banyon is......
He is arguing with the insurance company about the stumps. They paid for removing the tree off the roof and the rest of the tree was hauled off by contractor who are removing what they can. These 4 stumps are too big and require more cutting to fit in the trucks.
that is not covered.

Well, it looks like the stump could grow back. And he can also use it to display plants and things. These trees were huge and historic! What a shame and what a difference.
That's so sad! Please let us know what happens.

Yes, I would keep the stumps and do what you did with the flowerpots and let that sprout flourish... YAM xx
All those down trees just make me sad. Insurance companies are the worst.
It was such a beautiful tree with so much history!

Wow, so sorry to see that the big Banyon tree came down.
The stump looks huge. I would have kept it if I could move it to a clear spot in the yard. Take care, have a great day!
You will.miss seeing that banton tree...I so love them. I would want the stumps, too.
Well, I do hope there is hope there. I HATE when big trees are damaged. It put how strong the storm was to me seeing that. I wish he could have them removed.
It's really sad that all those beautiful trees got ripped apart by the evil storm.
