Well, if it's not bolted down, thieves in Lake Worth will steal it. This was an attempted theft of a small Gumbo Limbo tree and the thief had to give up because of the roots. Branches were torn off and some roots were broken. The attempted vandalism and theft occurred in ROLOH. Years ago, some low-life came to my yard and tried to steal and uproot a small Foxtail about 7-8 feet high. All they managed to do was snap the tree in two.
The president of ROLOH, Robert Waples, said, "I mean honestly, you have to start stealing trees??? Of course our neighbor is making a report to PBSO but what this does mean is that we all need to be aware, alert and willing to "Make The Call Y'all!
Gumbo Limbo full grown
