How can they tell how old it is without cutting it down?

Great trees----I have 35 of them growing quite well in a swampy area---All the way up in frigid Michigan.

Florida obviously needs to supply residents with electricity. Protest the outrageous number of people who have moved to Florida in the last 10 years....before the recession. That's the problem...too many, too fast, too stressful on our resources!

These protestors also failed to mention that here in Martin County, we had 3 hurricanes in 2003-2004. My cypress trees took a beating too, as well as my 100 year old oaks.
