[Eric in Orlando]

Here is an article about the damage at the Kampong, David Fairchild's residence. The big Baobab Tree blew over again but is being stood up.

Like its giant baobab tree, the Kampong will rise again

Thanks for the link.  I recently purchased his books, and am enthusiastic to read them !

Nice read, thanks Eric. 

Have been following post storm damage/ recovery reports from Fairchild and other gardens/ nurseries across the state. As sad as it is to see pictures of what Irma did, it certainly could have been worse. The picture you had posted in another thread of the Hickory you lost at Leu was quite a sight.
