Field Notes

Description:

When I was walking an egg-like fruit fell on me. I looked up and saw a squirrel in a palm-like tree eating the same type of fruit, high up in the branches.The fruit was growing in bunches like bananas, except smaller, around 3 and 1/2 cm in size. When I squished it the insides were like a banana too. The tree's leaf venation looked netted pinnate and the leaf margin was serrate. The leaves were high up, but they looked around 3 feet in length and 1 and 1/2 feet in width. I couldn't feel the leaf but it looked papery. The bark texture was very rough, and there were buttress roots supporting the tree. The leaf shape looked palmate and the leaf were arranged all around in no obvious pattern.

Habitat:

This tree was surrounded by other plants. There were multiple trees that were the same kind in that location. It was hot and not shaded.

Notes:

This was found in an apartment garden.
