This is one of the strangest trees I have ever seen. I first saw these trees in South and Central America where they are fairly common. We called them Monkey Pines because they have curved tail-like branches. The real name is Monkey Puzzle Tree. I found this one growing in California. It is interesting how we come to associate things with certain places. I was struck with how incongruent this particular tree was, being so far from home.
