This tree has incredible wow factor for several reasons. The thick trunk keeps its green color and takes on a slightly bulbous shape as the plant matures. The trunk also develops amazing thorns like spiky medieval weaponry. Pretty pink flowers cover the treetop in autumn followed by large,pear-shaped seed pods that contain a silky "floss" embedded with small seeds. The silk was once used to stuff pillows.
