Is it a gift?
What kind of tree is it?
The Bucayo is a deciduous tree with a thorny bark and bright orange flowers. Its legumes grow up to 20 cm in length and contain dark brown seeds. This tree adapts well to coastal conditions: it can survive both flooding and high salinity. It grows along the coasts and rivers in tropical Asia, Oceania and Africa. This low-maintenance, red-flowering tree is grown as a shade tree – often together with cocoa.
