[Aroid-l] Sheldon's Mystery Tree

From: Sheldon Hatheway <sfhatheway at yahoo.com> on 2011.11.24 at 20:18:12(22411) Thanks for your response, Elizabeth. I was hoping myself that it might be an extra-hardy Delonix, but the leaflets are wrong. All of the Delonix pictures I've seen have a very small, mimosa-type of leaflets. My tree has leaflets that are about 3" long by 1" wide and pointed on both ends. I really should have taken a picture of a single entire leaf before they all fell off. I'll try harder next year!! I'm attaching (I hope) a picture of the tree trunk. I think the pattern of the bark is interesting. Thanks again.

Huge double-compound pinnate leaves, ridged bark, and gorgeous red-orange flower clusters.
