Marguerite:

Yes, this tree is an oddity. It was always planted in botanical gardens...now
these trees are becoming popular in the home landscape. There's some old large trees around. I started two from seeds a couple months ago. I hope one day they'll become a large tree..

Did you ever get a chance to see my seedlings I posted about 3 weeks ago?

Yes, thanks Delonix.
I gave each a "like" and put them on GoYpedia Sausage Trees, but forgot to add comments at the time. !
