Where did the name Monkitree come from?
When we were trying to come up with a name, Peter asked me, "What about something monkey related? Do you have any connection to monkeys?" I'm not sure how I responded. Likely, "What? Why would I have something monkey related?" But then I thought about it. Growing up, we had a Saucer Magnolia tree in our backyard. It was an excellent climbing tree so we called it the Monkey Tree.
