So I woke up this morning and it is still windy. The weather in LA has been weird for days…hot…cold…windy…rainy. I feel like my eyeballs may pop out of my head at any moment from all the sinus pressure. In the midst of all this turbulent weather I wondered about all the palm trees here. Why don’t palm trees break? I mean the wind has been getting up to 70mph and nothing. Big Oaks in Texas are uprooted all the time with crazy wind. So of course, I googled it. Palm trees don’t break because they lack the secondary xylem which basically translates to…… They are bendy. Interesting.
