Among the coolest specimen trees is the world famous Sausage Tree.  The fruits hang down and look like giant salami sausages

Sausages can be two feet long and weight up to 15 pounds each

If you have never seen a Sausage Tree live, up close, just imagine the impact of seeing clusters of sausages dangling in the breeze

People don't eat the sausage fruits, but hippos, baboons, elephants and giraffes do

But wait.  This fine tropical evergreen tree from West Africa also has amazing fragrant flowers.  Candelabra flower clusters, like the sausage fruits, descend from ropelike stalks

This is exciting.  But there's more.  In the night, the flowers open showing a deep red inflorescence that is both fragrant and beautiful

The sausage tree boasts long, open sprays of large, maroon or dark red trumpet-shaped flowers that are velvety on the inside and that virtually overflow with nectar.  In South Florida, flowering begins approximately August and continues for several months

After pollination, where flowers were, baby sausages appear
