To cut it down is to free them to roam the earth. Read more HERE ;

That's so interesting about the Silk Cotton Trees. I hope Wilma isn't thinking about cutting one down, and if Fred wants to do it, I hope she stops him. I hope you are having a wonderful week so far.And happy Easter although I'll be linking up tomorrow. Hugs-Erika
