Gumbo Limbo Tree

Just after Christmas of last year, we contacted the City of Key West to do something about the tree in front of our house.  A main root was going under our porch and had caused floor tiles in the master bath to crack.

It was inspected and approved to cut the root going under the house, while saving the tree.  We never wanted to lose our shade, but also didn’t want further damage.

Pictures from this week.

We will be heading north on Sunday morning, and won’t get to see the finished job until our next visit.
