q4qualityDescription
I saw these particular trees everywhere in Egypt. I was fascinated by how smooth the bark of the tree and the color as well. Each tree looks like it average about 8 to 10 feet tall. The leaves reminded me of the average fern plant. They may be a part of that family of plants.

When I first saw this plant I thought that someone threw bleach on it but accident. Turns out that’s just the way that the plant grows. I nickname this plant the Tye dye plant. There was no smell coming from it there was also not any bugs attracted to it. But the colors are very engaging.

This tree was pretty tall it probably measured out to be about 10 feet tall. I thought it was very interesting because it look like the branches had a little small nest but that’s just the leaves. I wasn’t able to get too close of a picture because it was inside of a mosque and I wanted to be respectful.
