PENTASPODEN MOTLEYI

I posted about this tree recently on 17 Aug 11 at 8:58 pm and just days after, the bare crown is now covered with lots of newly sprouted green leaves. I love the form and texture of this interesting tree.

PENTASPODEN MOTLEYI

When looking at this grove of trees from the Anacardiaceae Family, it is not surprising to think that the center specimen is dead since the remaining ones around it are all doing well. But a drying or dying tree it is not.


In fact, the tree is sprouting a new coat of leaves that gradually turn red and green. Anyway, I love the architecture, form and look of this tree in a landscape.
