"Tree" is not a phylogenetic category, and large woody plants have evolved among such diverse taxa as clubmosses (now extinct), grasses (bamboo), cycads, palms, etc.<br /><br />Great post.

It's in the succulent family [cacti]. In central Africa it's the only tree elephants can't kill by eating off it's bark when food is scarce. Its entire trunk carries moisture and nutrients up to the limbs where as in actual trees the layer immediately below the bark is the only source of nourishment and the whole center is basically dead. Baobabs can have big hollows carved out of them and still live. I saw one so big that a room, used as a jail, has been made in it. They are fascinating giants in the forests.June Calenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265808476144632255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19630688.post-38673478198167552642009-12-29T11:48:34.973+00:002009-12-29T11:48:34.973+00:00Me, I prefer a simple stand of red pine (dusted wi...Me, I prefer a simple stand of red pine (dusted with snow, if possible).<br /><br />Nice blog!<br /><br />-- NEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
