the same tree in a different stage, i am grateful for any feedback on which species it is (Los Angeles, but presumably not native to here)
@inquiline I got maybe Prestoea acuminata (Mountain Cabbage Palm) from iNaturalist suggestions. Otherwise, really doesn't look like anything I've seen before!
@inquiline these are from a tree!? what an odd sight. never seen anything like it but it's very cool!
here's a little bit of a view into what's going on:
