lichen on a tree in florida. growing from the trunk and dispersed towards the top.
Wild black cherry tree, the tree is also accounted for on the St Petersburg Tree Map and the website Falling Fruit. On the neighboring property there is a second smaller one.
UPDATE: It looks like the tree was recently cut to the stump, but it still has root suckers. As for the one on the property next door, it looks to be thriving and has grown a bit since last time.
