"We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it would prove useful in hospitals. The work was one of pure science. And this is a proof that scientific work must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it." - Marie Curie
Dr Entwisle says there is no doubt this tree definitely rates in the bizarre tree stakes.
"It rates up there high, it is not so much the amount of growth, because people probably know strangler figs...can grow all over something, so in the tropics you get this trees that just sort of take over buildings, but what is of interest here is the way it produced fence-like protrusions from the side that you just wouldn't expect, so maybe give it a seven-point-five to eight out of 10."
A spokesperson for the Northern division of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Lawrence Orel says the tree is a spotted gum eucalyptus maculate, "which is very common and widespread on the north coast".
Mr Orel agrees with the bizarre rating. "This is certainly one of the more spectacular forms of this type of over-growth I've seen."
i suppose this fits? here is a pineapple that was growing on one of the families farms. very strange! its sitting on our front desk now as a decoration.
