Our friends, Gary and Sandra, always bring something when they come over. The last time they brought two Norfolk Pines, a hugh Staghorn Fern, Jatropha Tree and a Lychee Nut tree. They get all these from seeds that drop from trees and germinate in their lot. Amazing how productive Florida can be. Well, they all have to be planted so we started with the Norfolk Pines. Now having recognized what a Norfolk Pine was, we realized that there was a bunch of them growing already over near the drainage canal. They were growing in three big bunches, with some over six feet tall and some just a foot or so. I assume the previous owners must have gotten them from someone and just stuck them in the group right next to each other, planning to replant them at some other time but now they had grown up with their roots all intertangled.
So before we planted the two that the Fenstemakers brought over, we dug up all the existing ones and replanted them (12 had enough roots left to be replanted).
Now one side of our property has a nice line of Norfolk Pines that will eventually group into the majestic and tall trees that the Norfolk Pines are.
