Looks like it's been shat upon

I don't think it's Shatupon, It looks more like It's Missed than Hit. Yaupon doesn't grow that far south either.

Hmmmm. Poison Sumac, perhaps?

Jeff · « **Reply #4 on:** January 25, 2003, 03:13:04 pm »

I'm not sure maybe honeysuckle? What ever it is it must me fresh. Look at all that sap running out of it.

It looks like it could be low cussed!

Hope it's not pisselum.

It shure looks like Sumac to me but Arizona's Sumac is the onley kind I have been around and it's not poison that I know of. Could be if you eat it but if you get it on you not at all, not like Poison Oak and sutch. I do know folks from the east would stay WELL away from the Sumac thats found in Arizona saying things like "When I was a kid in Jersey" and the storys ended like "and I could not walk for a week.

Hmmmmm.......it could be a Mangrove

I got a book that shows pictures of

black locast
mesquite
velvet ash

all look similar

Tom · « **Reply #10 on:** January 28, 2003, 02:38:40 pm »

you'll not find those in Sebastian, Florida though, Sawbilly. What Harold has on his head might be a local plant or may be an import from across the ocean. You never know in S. Central Florida. I having a little trouble figuring out where his head stops and his hat begins.

Jeff · « **Reply #11 on:** January 28, 2003, 03:41:39 pm »

I think this is one of the areas of the forum that ole Harwald has never found.

Tom · « **Reply #12 on:** January 28, 2003, 04:49:57 pm »

Yeah, me too, and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

Tom · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2003, 05:26:03 pm »

I know it isn't Mango the leaves are too small and I don't see any strings hanging from his teeth.

[Florida joke}

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2003, 05:57:51 pm »

It would serve Harold right if we started making light of his hat

You never know what you might miss if you don't read every post on every thread!

I am trying as hard as I can but you should help with a Noble effort.

What's that on his head? hair brush?

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #16 on:** January 28, 2003, 07:09:06 pm »

Well OK Tom here goes, I'm just glad Harold will never see this. He's mentioned going to Costa Rica so I suppose he knows a little of the lingo-----probably picked up some in Fla as far as that goes.

I think it's a dingleberry bush cause it has a 'pelota de mierda' under it.

Don't hold nuthin' back Noble!!!

DanG · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2003, 10:22:30 am »

I'm thinking its a schmartt ash.

CHARLIE · « **Reply #19 on:** January 29, 2003, 12:01:14 pm »

Looks like wateroak to me. They require a lot of air to grow. At first I thought it might be a loggerhead, but realized that was not a tree. Maybe it's a ...loggerhead under the leaves.
