The Old Camphor Tree

The Family Camphor Tree

There is an old Camphor Tree standing right in the middle of the front yard! It has lingered there for over 40 years and has been a blessing to year after year!

It has provided cooling shade on those hot Florida Summer days.

The seeds are apparently delicious to a multitude of birds who come by the flock to snatch as many as they can. I have seen Starlings, Waxwings and Ravens winging their way through the branches gulping down as many berries as they can get their beaks on.

Camphor trees are not a native species but I sure do enjoy the one I have grown up with!
