Tree Resembles Umbrella On Pacific Island
A curious Pacific island tree grows to nearly 30 feet with branches spreading like a huge umbrella yet remains completely leafless. The species has never produced buds. Its sap serves medicinal use while the wood, though as hard as iron, burns poorly and is a poor fuel source.
