I should mention something about the studs on the trunk. The
beautiful Chorisia outside Rudolph's Coffee House in downtown San Luis
Obispo is in too public a place to tolerate those beefy blunt thorns so
they have knocked them off up to about seven feet. This is probably a good
idea anywhere. They are not sharp but are very sturdy.
