Looking at these images reminded me of the 1972 cult oddity "THE WICKER GIRL" but i still genuinely believe the 2006 remake with Nicolas Cage was a better movie.

Trees are ALWAYS welcome.

LJ - The Wicker Man.

Sue - How about growing a dynamite tree in your yard?

Cloudia said...

You are one bad baobab!

Kirk said...

What country or continent is this dynamite tree native to? I never heard of it.

Mike said...

Cloudia - I have more of them.

Kirk - This video is a little corny but it shows everything about the sandbox tree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM5SL_Tuoqo&ab_channel=TonyBoy

Two days of trees in a row? Maybe we can bring back Trini Lopez to sing a song for you.

Some real gnarly and grotesque ones there!

Kathy G said...

So this would be the non-fall colored edition. What's next-leafless trees in winter?

Mike said...

Bill - I had to look that up. Lemon tree? I don't think I've ever heard that. Must not have been a thing around here. I did find out he died of COVID last year.

Deb - There were a few of those in there. I've got better ones than those.

Kathy - I think you're on to something. Leafless; dead; barren ground; then come back trees like at Mount St. Helens. This could carry me into next week!

Trees are always a wonderful treat. Keep 'em coming! The sandbox tree sounds unbelievable! It goes to show, don't mess around with Mother Nature! What else has she got that few have ever heard of?

Mike said...

Allen - I wonder how fast they grow. If I live to 130 I could have a big one in my backyard.

The third from the bottom is mirrored. I think most are from Madagascar.

Mike said...

Mark - I'm sure you're correct. It's a little too symmetrical.
