The tree looked like it got hit by lightning.

Torote?
I tried translating 'torote' from Spanish to English, and came up with nothing except a suggestion for 'torete'. That is for a small bull (or
mischievous child).
Is that the name of the plant? Neat picture by the way.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Those trees are like big Jade plants....the weight of their branches will sometimes result in such breaks....lightning would usually leave a
scorch/burn mark .
Great trees, regardless.
Don't believe everything you think....

AKGringo - I went to the Baja California Plant Field Guide and the spelling is Torote, pg 113. This species is Bursera hindsiana.
Nena - glad you liked it. Few people see anything attractive about it other than a grotesque oddity. One guy wrote 'I once had a girlfriend like
that'. Well it was funny.
Woody - nice to have met you and your super wife. I'm still working on the zucchini but the turkey was great. Glad you guys made it home safely.
They're still catching wahoo out here. No, I don't like to post pictures of dead fish very much.
I don't know why these trees tend to rot. Alex and I used some dead ones on the Cortez for a firewood. Bad idea. They're airy and burn almost like
paper.
I find them to be more beautiful, more expressive without leaves or blossoms.
