Hello folks, I need help identifying this tree I found growing in an Argentine backyard but may be a gift seed from Europe or Australia. It has green smooth trident shaped leaves. Bell shaped flowers with curly edges and a smooth green bark with vertical yellow strips. I'm thrilled as I had never seen it before. Thanks! Dario
Re: Unknown tree: Europe or Australia? Trident leaves, smooth green bark w yellow str I believe it is Brachychiton populneus.. Quote wiki..."The bell-shaped flowers are variable in colour (pale to pink) while the leaves vary considerably in shape. The leaves are either simple and pointed, or may be 3 - 9 lobed." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachychiton_populneus https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=b...FGenera%2FBrachychiton%2Fgallery.html;320;240 http://selectree.calpoly.edu/treedetail.lasso?rid=214 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=b....com%2Fs%2Fbrachychiton%2Fsearch.html;446;470
Re: Unknown tree: Europe or Australia? Trident leaves, smooth green bark w yellow str Excellent! Thanks a lot, I do believe you find the right one!! I believe it looks like the "Brachychiton Vulgaris" to be precise
Re: Unknown tree: Europe or Australia? Trident leaves, smooth green bark w yellow str Interesting. I cannot find any mention of Brachychiton vulgaris anywhere on www. I cannot find any reference or images. I am interested what brings you to that decision? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=B...t8VO2oKePV7QanrYCgCg&ved=0CAUQ_AUoAA&dpr=1.25 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachychiton
