I think it is a striking vegetable - I crave novelty in food, so bought two for a Sunday roast. I steamed them lightly and served them naked, unfettered by cheese sauce. No bugger touched them. Had the lot meself. I smelled faintly rancid for a week.

Many forest canopies maintain mysterious gaps, called crown shyness, that could help trees share resources and stay healthy.
