I have no clue what happened to the tree that was here it was cut down after the winter maybe it died.. wasnt like this... this thing is huge width wise I actually dont remember what the tree leaves of the old tree looked like.. but it was not huge width wise .its atleat 6 feet branch reach ing high nd wider I think all way around. none of the trees on the inside of the property are . But I have always seen this.. whatever it is peeking around it.. the leaves i always wanted to pull a few really fat hearts.. beautiful looking.. I was always afraid to touch it though.. not sure why maybe I thoight it would make me itch.. please tell me i was wrong.. or Im in a heap of trouble!! Lol.
