Tree ID.

[janey]

I'm stumped by this one . I've got quite a good ID book collection and I can't seem to find anything similarr. So far! I'm taking it on as a challenge and I WILL find out what it is (even if it means reading the next few posts to get the answer from someone else )

Is this a tree that you have seen in situ?

Is this a tree that you have seen in situ?

 

To be honest no.

As it was in Spain & obviously not European, I correctly guessed that it was probably from Latin America.

 

Found it in "Trees of the Americas"

The flowers, leaves & fruit all look right & is characteristicaly multistemmed.

South Brazil, Uraguay, Paraguay & N Argentina. Fast Growing.

 

Said to store large ammounts of water in its stems, so might bleed a lot if cut.
