    They're exotic for sure. Someone took one down near my house last year and left it at the curb with a FREE sign. I wish I grabbed it when I had the chance. If nothing else it would've made good "filler" wood for shoulder season.

    Wow nice looking tree. I have a big sycamore that seems to peel it’s bark biannually.
