B.recurvata in Hayward.

Post by Stan »

I had a better photo of this thing from summer- in sun the trunk looked white-darn if my finger didn't delete it by accident. Mine,does not have this and also does not have such a dense crown of leaves. Mine is older and branching so that could throw me off. Anyways- I've never seen a Beaucarnea trunk bleach like this one.

Looks like a Truffala tree straight from Dr. Seuss.
