Desoto Natl Park 6

 

My photo of the tree that died from i think 2016


These trees are Gumbo Limbo trees, the monster tree that was hundreds of years old, died a few years ago, they tried to save it, from disease.

My photo of the tree from 2009

Gumbo Limbo Tree (Bursera simaruba) are the most fascinating of trees here in our city.  

The story of the trees in a prior post from 2009 is HERE...  check this link if you have time.

The photos below are my photos from Feb 10, 2024


These are current photos of the Gumbo Limbos that are still thriving and are the first thing you see when entering the park. 

Today ends the photos from last week, I will make another trip to do the current trails.
