Yamadori Leucaena leucocephala: Weirdest tree you have ever seen?

This is a Leucaena leucocephala or ha'ole koa as they are called here in Hawaii.

This definitely the weirdest tree I own.

Here it is in May of 2013 (about a year and a half after it was collected)




This is what it looks like now. The base is 6.5 inches wide at the biggest part and the tree is 14 inches tall overall.

Thanks for the look.
ANY AND ALL COMMENTS WELCOME!

IMHO (in my haole opinion), i think its cool as hell...

i dig the stumpy nature with the fine foliage...

and that bark ?
pretty rad !

I like it as well.... something different. Neat find, very neat!

Definitely a nice start - I'm thinking of Walter Pall's discussion of fantasy trees. This is a good candidate. Nice.

In the first picture before it has grown out it looks like Jabba the Hut .... this is a really cool tree

I keep waiting for a pepperoni to slide off. Oh wait- that was Pizza the Hut!

Yeah, what a strange tree! But something new that is probably pretty fun to explore, how it grows, responds to conditions, pruning, etc. Hope you show some progressions some day.
