I just discovered Tree Tuesday and it's definitely something I can get behind. Hell, I'd be down for Tree Everyday. Besides, tree's obviously tie in pretty well to my daily nature blog. My first contribution to Tree Tuesday is the incredibly menacing looking black palm tree (Astrocaryum standleyanum) .
How quickly could this thing ruin your day, if you're not watching where you're going? We saw a handful of these during our time in Costa Rica.
The trees spines were incredibly sharp and rigid. Some of the longer barbs measured nearly 7 inches! I featured this tree on one of my earlier Daily Nature Fix posts. (Daily Nature Fix: One Badass Tree.) I'm looking forward to the next Tree Tuesday, now that I know about them. I've got oodles of trees to share!
