My palm tree managed to live through another winter, and now it is busy mutating into something that always seems to scare the neighbours.

It develops some kind of fast-growing seed pod thingys every other year or so.

These photos show how the tree changed from the end of April until today. The seed pods will fall off in about a week, and then the tree will go back to looking like itself again, like the whole, terrible thing never happened.

Ask Doc, as he appears to know a little bit about DeSotos.

Location: North Australia		On a quiet day you can hear those old Desoto's rusting!

Here in tropical north Australia, palm trees are very common, and this type of thing is everywhere. Normal protocol is to take to ém with the Machete or better still, chainsaw.

I showed your pics to my wife. She thought it looked gorgeous!! Better sleep with one eye open, huh?

to keep as exotic pets.
