Default Tree near House - Identify and Advice????


"infiniteMPG" wrote in message

We have a house in west central Florida on a wooded lot with scrub
oaks and southern pines and some other odd trees. A few years ago a
couple feet in front of one corner of the house a small stem of a
plant sprung up.

We had someone look at the tree and
called it an "air tree" and said there was no worry as it's very soft
wood and would not be able to disrupt the foundation of the house.
We're now trying to identify the tree and gather information to see if
this is true so if it can become a problem we'd rather remove it
before it's too big a problem.

Hi,

You misunderstood he said "Ear tree" Enterolobium cyclocarpum, don't think
I'd want this monster close to my foundation.
HTH -_- how
