Ardent blog follower and witty commenter dc, captured this winter tree in Florida. It was in response to my silent Sunday post of the winter Tree in Pittsburgh.
dc suggested that I photograph my tree in the summer which I thought was a good idea. Thank you

My DIL received this at a holiday party gift exchange. A Grump Tree is a Lemon Cypress tree.
“Instagram account @TraderJoesList announced the highly-anticipated arrival of the Trader Joe’s Grump Trees on Nov. 11, noting that each tree, wrapped in a red burlap sack (à la the Santa Claus toy sack the Grinch hauls with him around Whoville), topped with a sparkly Christmas ornament, and adorned in red ribbon, is selling for $8.99.”
Grump tree says it will grow fifteen to thirty feet tall and twenty feet wide if planted in the right location (California?)
