Homemade hummingbird feeder

Fabulous.

Thank you Feverfew

That's an excellent photo! It's so difficult to get a good photo of hummingbirds. I know I've tried so many times.

Now, I know why you wanted me to id my Pencil tree. LOL! :>)

That is correct D1. We have couple of them on the property and I did not know what they are. Than I noticed it in your picture.
Now I know. Thanks.

The Pencil tree can get huge...up to more than 30 ft (10m) tall and a very thick trunk. I once took a garden tour here in San Diego and there was a Pencil tree (at the time, 13 years ago) which was 90 years old. I had never seen one so huge and a trunk that was so thick I couldn't believe it! I wish I had a digital camera back then!

Delonix1, I have seen this tree as big as that on the street in town but did not have my camera. I will take a picture if I will see it again. I do not remember which street it was on :-(
In the mean time I posted the pencil tree on this property which is probably around 10-12 years old. How old is yours?

My plant was started from a very small cutting 11 years ago. It's now around 12 ft (4m) tall. I cut it back severely a couple of years ago...and it needs to be cut back again.

It was growing in a pot, which now has all it roots through the pot and into the ground. This happens here a lot.

I have some of these too, LOL. I left Cornus Florida "cherokee chief" in a pot for 3 years and looks like it will have to stay in the pot. Luckily I put it in the spot where I was going to plant it.

It's amazing how quickly the roots from potted plants can grow into the ground. Ficus species are the biggest culprits here in San Diego. They have such a huge root system.
