Treetop Tomatoes

Tomato plant with a mix of red and green tomatoes, growing out of the side of a palm tree.

Top of a palm tree. You can see the tomatoes and two other plants growing out of the sides.

Full view of the palm tree along a city street. You can just make out the tomatoes up near the top.

Is this the weirdest place I’ve seen a volunteer tomato? It’s certainly up there!

*sorry*

*ok, not sorry* 🙂

Update: There’s also a black nightshade of some sort and a ficus growing out of the same tree, which you can sort of see in the medium-zoom photo.

Cluster of rounded green leaves on stems growing out of the side of a palm tree. One of the tomatoes can just be seen at upper left.

Plant with small leaves and tiny black berries growing out of the side of a palm tree.

Update Sep 13: Found a notice pinned to all the trees along this edge of the block: The construction project for the LAX people-mover wants to take them all out.

They do intend to replace them, but I guess the treetop tomato is not long for this world. 😢
