I’m gonna have that song stuck in my head for a week

West Coviiiinaaaaa.... Jacaraaaaandaaaaa.....

made me feel uncomfortable for some reason

Thank you!  Explains why I had trouble finding pictures online that looked quite right!

Yeah it gives the foliage uneven spheres. Looks like a pokeball..

It’s a jacaranda that’s been pruned back at some point.  When you cut them, the new shoots from the cut grow straight upwards and sort of ruins the shape of the tree in my opinion.

Seen in West Covina, California
