Lucky you, having Sausage Trees so near to your home...
I shall be looking out for Palm Trees to nominate. ;o)

Terratoonie:

This isn't the only one in the neighborhood. : > )
There's a few around...however, they're not very widely planted. I think it's been in the last 20 years that they've become a little more available.

It seems they are becoming more popular...
They have so many different stages of interest with the leaves, flowers and sausages...

Terratoonie:

Yes, you're correct. The leaves are very interesting because they feel like sandpaper.

Have you photographed close up of the leaves ?

Terratoonie:

I think I have some close ups of the leaves...in one of my plant folders. : > )
