In Ravenscourt Park near Hammersmith, the "Baobab" Plane tree has mystified people for decades. Here's all the photos I've found of it through the years from 1932 onwards.
In #RavenscourtPark near #Hammersmith, the "Baobab" Plane tree has mystified people for decades. Here's some of the photos I've found of it through the years from 1932 onwards as it appears to grow down, and outwards.

Tree trunk on left of pic and heavy bough stretching across the top of the pic with sunshine lighting the golden yellow leaves. Sunlit grass of the park lawns in the foreground with a path and park benches in the middle distance,
Another glorious sunlit tree from #RavenscourtPark, west London.
Sunshine lighting up a London plane tree with massive fat trunk. Grass around it is bright green in sunshine and the tree is still in leaf.
Close-up showing the gnarled trunk and some of the roots of the fat trunk plane tree. It grew weirdly after being struck by lightning, I’m told. Bright green leaves against a clear blue sky.
My favourite tree in Ravenscourt Park, west London. A London plane with a massive “bottle” trunk.
