Still Homesick but Tree at our current Home

  Before the  drought and we had lawn.  I am told this is a Texas Umbrella Tree. It sheds flowers, seed pods and leaves depending on the season.  We have trimmed it back many times, our friends never got bigger than 8 feet in Spring Valley, CA. It obviously likes this clay ground.  Do you have a connection to trees?  It reminds me of all the relatives of the past hanging on the branches of the past.
