Monkey Puzzle Tree

As part of the Seminole Heights Guiness Book of Records two readers posted about their trees:

"I *think* that my bungalow on 226 west fern has the tallest tree in Seminole Heights. It's a "monkey puzzle" tree and is estimated at 85'."

"Our house @ 303 E Jean St has an "Ear" tree (the national tree of Costa Rica, by the way) that covers at least 5 different yards. It may not be the "tallest" in the neighborhood, but it's got to be one of the "largest" around in terms of diameter."

I had to look. Here are some photos

    There is another monkey puzzle tree on the West side of Central Ave just South of the Methodist Church at Central and Hanna.
