Trees from a distance

Ahhh, we're just having some fun JZ.

You've even got the American flag in that picture!
Not bad since it's the first week of the Olympics.

Okay, so you say thorns and I think Hawthorn (Crataegus).
Nasty tree to venture into!

Where is the tree? What state?

Ya make me feel wanted.


the tree is non-native - this is about as far north as you will find it - and that is mid state florida.

thorns and big blooms as you see -

this was taken in January.

normal growth is straight trunk -

Looking forward to finding out what it is, those branch whorls are like a conifer, their spaced at very regular intervals as well. What a weird looking tree.

Re car - Is it a Lexus?

 

[jerseygirl]

here is a photo of the branch structure with some items that might be found in the tree - here is also has leaves

that really is a strange looking tree, i have never seen anything like it except those baobab things in Socotra.

 

[NickfromWI]

Is it a Brachychiton of some sort?

Thorns you say? Chorisia speciosa maybe???

ID this big-un that my dog and I are standing next to, it should be an easy one. Bonus points for the tree to the right as well.

Caution, this is a big file!
