Can a Segrape Tree predict the weather?

These are Seagrapes.  Isn't this a beautiful tree? When I was growing up one of the "Conch Tales"

Handed down from generation to generation........

says that if theres a good "crop" of Seagrapes that year we won't get hit by a major hurricane.

So far so good!  We should be just fine.  Altho' several people in the CVS parking lot strolled over to see what the heck I was taking pictures of...before shaking thier heads and just walking away..  :) Just wanted ya'll to see how good things are looking so far.

So the next time your'e in Key West in the summertime, keep an eye out for the Seagrape trees, and if they're full of Seagrapes, they may be a Key Wester's best friend!
