Mystery tree?
Anyone care to offer an identification for this specimen, seen in
Switzerland? I have only ever seen 3 others - 1 in Hull (garden), UK, and 2 on Tyneside (garden and park), UK. When the pods are ripe and turning from green to translucent brown, they can be squeezed between 2 fingers, when they burst with a quite audible 'pop'. Thanks |

Easily grown from seed sown in autumn or spring I have use it in sensory garden to provide that illusive 'sound' element - the pods rattle together in the wind. As you say the pods are also very tempting to pop. |
