OK Bot, I have a question for you.

What's the name of the tree with thorn-like spines growing out of its bark.

These trees grow relatively high. their branches are widely spaced and are almost horizontal to the ground.

They also have a long, bulbous like "fruit" hanging from the ends of the branches. The fruits are fairly large. When they fall from the tree and hit the ground you can see a white, feathery-like "stuff" inside the fruit.

There are several of these trees near where one of my daughters lives and a band of wild city-parrots has taken up residence in the tree, eating from its fruit.

I wish I had a pic of the tree, it would make ID that much easier.

Thanks.
