Yes Ann, you are quite correct and it is indeed an Ocotillo, my bad. Should not have listened to the person who advised me. Yes, I had made an executive decision not to clone out that tree trunk and I will wait a bit and hope those buds erupt and make a better image next time.
Thanks for your help and advice.
