I can't begin to imagine how mature it is...decades I'm sure. I have no idea how many different plants were used and I don't know what type of internal support was used. I was able to see several variegated plants and a few orange blooms, which are more rare than the fuschia variety that is so common down here in South Florida.
This specimen is unusual for a couple reasons. First, it's huge and mature. Second, it's not just 1 plant that has a triple braided "trunk" It is many different plants as evidenced by the many colors. Third, I would consider it a topiary because of it's shape.
By the way, these past two weeks have been record breaking in terms of heat. It's been feeling like 105 each day after you factor in humidity...at least that's what the local news says. Good news: there are no mosquitoes or noseeums in Duck Key!!!! How'd they do that?
