Gigantic specimen

[TikiRick]

I drive past this monster frequently admiring the shape, quality, color, and of course the size. Use the car in the background for scale. It's about 12' x 10' wide.
I'm getting my shovel.

That is a monster! Too bad it's so close to the tree.

That tree is the only thing keeping Rick's shovel in the truck

It would probably be much larger if not for the root competition with the tree.

[Crazy for Crotons]

It doesn't seem to mind the tree. In fact, there seems to be a nice "agreement" between the two plants.
