Southern California is too dry to get flora like this. This is so strange and yet compelling. It looks like something out of a human or animal body. Fascinating stuff.

Weird comes to mind - and it appears to be true that the trees do have ears

Never seen the likes of these in our neck of the woods.
They somehow remind me of elephant ears.
Super cool find, thanks for sharing.
