Yes sir, that's my camphor.

Birds like them.
My research has revealed that the camphor tree is considered an alien invader in these parts. They say you shouldn’t plant them. While popular in Asia for certain vague medicinal qualities, here it grows aggressively and tends to crowd out all other native flora. Pondering all these berries I can see why. Anyway, I have now learned that my stately elm is actually a gigantic weed. All part of the rich diversity of Florida, where everything is a mixed blessing at best.
The birds will eat the annoying berries. The poop will wash off the next time it rains (assuming it ever rains in Jacksonville again.) Keep the shotgun handy, though, in case you find the guy who sends out all those political robo-calls.
