[Aroid-l] Sheldon's Mystery Tree

From: Sheldon Hatheway <sfhatheway at yahoo.com> on 2011.11.27 at 16:34:32(22428) I wish I could. By the time I remembered that I didn't have any foliage pictures, they had all fallen off for the winter. It will be late Spring before there are any mature leaves on it. Hopefully, I'll have my act back together by then! In the meantime, I've scribbled down an abbreviated drawing of a single leaf and scanned it into my computer. Here's hoping both pics attach well.

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.
