Plantguy Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi Bruno, thanks for the great bark photos. I stare at my 3 "pony tail palms" (Beaucarnea recurvata) on my back patio and try to imagine them as a much larger Sigillaria standing 20-30 m (60-100+ft) tall with only a couple branches to speak of with those long thin leaves that were 1 m long and a cm wide. What a wonderfully strange plant the Sigillaria was! Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Chris Hi Plantguy yes it would be curious plants, with their straight trunk and bunches of leaves at the top, there are similarities with "pony tail palms" (Beaucarnea recurvata) best regards Bruno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
