What a great looking tree. We both have unusual trees posted today.
Interesting trees. Are they edible? Have a good week Diane
A very unusual tree. Did you know that Canary Islanders came to Texas in the 1700s and settled in the San Antonio area where they were sent here by the Kind of Spain? Many of their descendants still live there.
Ah, I love the dragon tree and what great shots for the day!! Hope you have a great new week, Jose!! Enjoy -- camera in hand, of course!!
It is a wonderful tree, JM!
We have some smaller sabal palms that remind me of these. I see all those berries and I think, "Oh boy, they are messy!" We had a messy palm next to our pool on the other side of Ocala. Black berries. Very messy!
Breathing fire too, I see.
They are well named! Thanks for sharing these.
I'm not sure I've ever seen one of these in person. Love the berries.
So that's what this is called. I see them around.
Quite an eye catching tree.
Way over here we forget that Portugal is semi-arid, with a climate perhaps more akin to Los Angeles. Well, if we knew anyone around here beside ourselves who has been to Portugal. We know lots of Brits who love it but not our own neighbors.
A great looking tree !
