#ThickTrunkTuesday: totally not where I assumed the internet would go, but here I am being pleasantly surprised

The Rancho Los Alamitos, Long Beach, CA. I believe this is a Moreton Bay Fig (Ficus macrophylla)

@HisAndHearsePress no no that is a Frightus n Scareus tree. That thing is from my nightmares. LOL.

@hackdefendr here I was, preparing to defend my lack of botanical expertise (IDK, I just googled the name!) 😅 and yes, it’s very tentacle-y for a tree.

@HisAndHearsePress Gorgeous, and within range for me - I will have to go check this one out. 😍

@Ahaikulife if that’s the case, neighbor, I also highly recommend the South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes. There’s an amazing grove of twisty, windy, rooty trees, plus many other beautiful things to see.

@HisAndHearsePress That sounds nice! I used to love the Huntington Gardens but what with traffic, etc., I rarely go there anymore (I'm in the IE).
