Western Redbud (Cercis occidentalis) is a nitrogen-fixing legume that exhibits cauliflory—a trait where flowers and fruits emerge directly from stems or trunks rather than new growth. The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) also displays cauliflory, with flowers sprouting from its trunk and developing into the beans used to make chocolate.
