We are in the process of retiring to Panama (Palmira del Banco north of Palma Real) in Chiriqui province and I have been researching plants and making a spreadsheet so that we can re-plant the farm that we purchased with plants for birds and other wildlife. I often wonder if people living in Chiriqui province could work together to create a "bluebird trail" type of effort to help re-establish some of the monkeys and birds that are so diminished in the area by strategically planting some of the needed plants. It seems that not all of the Americans, Canadians, etc want to move into gated communities where the natural habitat has been cleared for the sake of copying the "suburban life" they had back in their country of origin. I am looking forward to meeting others with shared goals. I am so happy to find sites like this.

I don't know anything about nurseries in Florida. Have you tried searching on google? I will say that Cecropias don't strike me as trees that could be easily grown in nurseries. The seeds are very small and dispersed by birds. I have transplanted two young trees, but despite tender caring, they're not doing as well as the young Cecropias elsewhere in the area. Hmm.

I live in south Florida and believe the weather would be fine to grow one but am having a difficult time locating any.

Here's a link to what the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, in conjunction with Yale School of Forestry, is doing in the area of reforestation. It might be of interest to you. http://research.yale.edu/prorena/ Thanks, Terry y Chris.

We bought property in Cuesta de Piedra and Buena Vista and are currently reforesting them. Your info is just the greatest. By your longitude/latitude, it looks like you would be pretty close to us in Buena Vista, on the road to Volcan. We have someone helping us with the plantings, as we are still in Canada. Your website is helping us give our gardeners some ideas for species for this area. Thanks and we will be visiting you often. Terry y Chris Mary, we are really enjoying your website.

It does drop its leaves, but not all of them all at once, even at the time of year when it drops *lots* of them. Some, or many (depending on what source you read), tropical trees do drop their leaves before the dry season. Around here, I believe fewer than half lose their leaves, but I haven't taken any data.
