What was that Penis Tree?

[NickfromWI]

A friend of mine just asked me about a tree and when she described it, it reminded me of a tree we had a thread about here. I only vaguely remember it, but I remember it had what looked like a bunch of large penises hanging off the trunk.

Anyone remember that?

love

I found a pic by googling "penis tree" !!!!

What is this tree?

 

[NeTree]

It's popular with the ladies, I figure. That's what it is.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't dick around with that species.

 

[flushcut]

I am guessing it is some kind of phallic palm tree not to be confused with a hairy palm tree.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

palma non erectus?

 

[flushcut]

More commonly known as the flaccid palm.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I wonder if the palm oil is more readily retrieved from that species?

 

[NeTree]

I think it needs deep root Viagra, at about 50 grams per cubic meter.

 

[flushcut]

LOL I think this thread can go on for a long time.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I wonder how it fairs in stiff breezes

 

[NeTree]

Pretty good, but the nuts tend to fall off prematurely.

 

[Rborist1]

Gotta be hard wood.

So, Nick... are you sorry you started this thread yet?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Maybe it is a hybrid...

Ha! I'll be damned!

 

[treesandsurf]

It's a species of Pandanus, looks like the ones we have here in Hawaii.

[NickfromWI]
