Hi I have a very very unusual tree in my back yard. this house is new to us and we really really thought this tree was dead and were even talking of cutting it down. about 2 weeks ago some leaves really started sprouting http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/kmb34me/Picture718.jpg and they are HUGE. then monday these flowers started showing up and now they are everywere. and gorgeous http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/kmb34me/Picture717.jpg this tree is roughly 30ft maybe taller. it is taller than any tree within on any streets surounding. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v31/kmb34me/Picture715.jpg my husbands grandfather says its a orchid tree, could it be, we live in Mass , zone 6, from what ive read these only grow in very warm areas. this tree must be very old. it is huge, and in a very akward spot. thank you Kristen
wow thanks. I wonder if you can eat the fruit? we saw the bean pods all over the yard from last year, LOL we didnt know what they were we told the kids that it was a banana tree.......
