There's got to be a story about how that tree got to be the hang-out for all those hoops?

The EPA will probably take it down as part of some type of multi-billion dollar clean air pollution project.

What a very rare tree. Got to find some seeds so that we can preserve it. The (fr)hoops must last a long time. Think I can remember having some of its fruits many years ago. BTW, great photo, the clouds add a whole new dimension. Mahalo for sharing.
