A sausage tree (Kigelia africana) stands in a tropical garden, its long, pale, sausage-shaped fruits hanging from cord-like stalks. A coconut palm rises beside it, with spiky yucca-like plants and pots of red, blue, and lavender flowers filling the beds around it. The setting is Riviera Gardens in Miami, where the African tree was grown as a botanical curiosity in South Florida's warm climate.
