tree ID'd by Oron as Brachychiton rupestris

Hello,

I work in an established garden in the Alpujarra region of Andalucia. (South of Granada). The garden is about 500 metres above sea level and suffers most of the extreme weather conditions southern Spain enjoys. There are many plants that I would like to have identified and will start with this tree.

Great.  Wow, that's going to look a bit weird as it matures. Thanks very much. I'll post a few more.
