This is what happens to plants when suddenly the yard they are in is flooded with light. We had two huge water oak trees removed because of their close proximity to the house (potential hurricane fodder). The gigantor/galapagos plants you see in the picture were never more than 1/2 a foot tall and very sparse until the trees were removed, then they became humongous!!!At least these plants won't cave in the roof if they get blown over! I really did hate to cut down those two trees, but after the last two hurricanes we figured we had gotten off lucky so far and should not tempt fate any more...........
