What a difference Patty!
Oh man, a Bischoffia!!!!!
Wait till you hear this one..... talk about coincidence..... A dear friend whose last name is Bischoff of course just had to have a Bischoffia tree when they saw one at a nursery one day. it was fate right? The tree has their name! This was years & years & years ago -- I think they've been in their house well over 30 years now. It was just a tiny thing when they planted it. You know how big it got & how fast it got that way right? They had troubles with it for years & years but hated to have it taken down. First, it was massive & would cost a fortune so over the years they had things done to mitigate having to take it down like having it root pruned etc.... but they really did have problems with it getting into the septic & also compromising their pool & pool deck. It's too bad b/c they are beautiful trees.
