A friend emailed me some pictures of this tree in Southern Africa. I just had to share them with you all!

Well, now I'm really confused

My mate told me Southern Africa, Banksia says Disneyland and m.i. told Aaron it's in India

Can anyone confirm if this tree really exists?

Google Images "Tree of Life in Disneyland" and you'll see what I mean. I can't recall where, but this topic was on another bonsai forum not that long ago.

Cheers!

You mean Marco left his hotel and the girl he was with on a trip? nowai!

Steven I belive there is more than one, although I can remember which was first.

Just Googled "Nalgonda" and lo and behold up came photos of the same tree!!

I think the only way we'll reallly find out it's whereabouts is if Mickey & Minnie are standing in front of it

Cheers!

It's definitely Disneyland. There was a site posted on AB before Christmas in a thread on figs, I think, and photos of this tree came up.

Just joking. Now ,if it is in Disneyland, is it an actual tree? or is it some fibreglass moulding jobby???

Cheers!

Here it is, on the Disney website.

There's a theatre under it, so I'd suggest it's fake. It's 14 stories tall and about 16 metres across.
