Cecropia Tree

My parents planted this cecropia tree for me a few years before I was born (I feel so special!).  Grandma was visiting me this weekend all the way from Japan, and she pushed me up so I can feel the leaves.  When I pull them, water falls from the leaf and I get a part of the leaf on my hand. Fun! 

Cecropia tree: grows very quickly in tropical climate. Leaves are very beautiful.  Veyr large hand-like shaped leaves are dark green on the front and back is white.
