Give this one a try.  :o :o :o


All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

Sure is a thorny bugger, must be related to devil's walking stick. Maybe ???

That looks like the bottom of a young Ceiba...
So, how did I end up here anyway?

I'll agree I seen some pretty spiny rose bushes, especially those Rugosa roses.  ::)

Is this one of your backyard trees, or are you pulling pictures off the internet?

It isn't one of his trees, but one of mine. He was down at Finca #1. I suspect I even know which tree it is!

(We don't have very many ceibas and it is planted near a canal we dug)

what the heck is a Ceiba?   Well I had to go look.
It is a tree with a cousin that is a Boabab.  That is the huge, slick barked, bulbous looking tree found in Africa and made famous in the film "The Gods must be Crazy".

Why does this article pick on Costa Rica for cutting ceiba for pallet wood?

I would think it would be too soft for pallet wood. Usually it is used to make concrete forms. However, it is nearly gone so MINAE is considering a total ban - except for plantation grown. Not a very valuable wood - but even wood for concrete frames goes for a decent price (up to 50 cents a BF).

Very important for the environment, it is an emergant.

This is an example of the base of a big one - and it is at least 200 feet tall and the canopy extends that far.

Thanks Tom, that's a worth while tree to protect from what I've read there and can see it's a great looking tree to have around. Maybe that is why Fred has them along his ditch.  :)

The credit goes to Hector - he bought them and planted them around the waterways. We have lots of trees I don't even know the names of that show up. When you have about 2,000 to choose from, you sure can confuse the Gringo!

I can recognize about 30 or 40 trees - I have a ways to go!

We had a piece of one of those, about that size, in the office of a previous job. I was told it was the imfamous "ugly stick".
   Get beaten by that, and your UGLY!!!
