The large, silver-bluish leaf in today’s photo is from which tropical tree species?

A Catalpa
B Cecropia
C Sycamore

Cecropias grow extremely fast, by tree standards. On average, they’ll climb about 2.5ft per year and under perfect conditions can grow as much as 10ft (3m) in that time, eventually reaching around 60ft (18m) tall. When dried, Cecropia leaves shrivel into a fist-like form which displays interesting patterns and shapes.

The correct answer is Cecropia.
