Bird-catcher tree, Grand devil's-claws

Pisonia grandis is a medium to large evergreen tree growing up to 20-30 m tall with a trunk diameter of 70 cm. It features irregularly branched soft wood, white-gray bark with furrows, and large sticky leaves that trap birds, earning it the name bird-catcher tree. Native to coral cays in tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans, it thrives in coastal areas from 0-1200 m altitude and 21-31°C temperatures. Fast-growing, it forms dense strands dominating mature vegetation but wood decays rapidly.
