Description
The Guanacaste tree (Enterolobium cyclocarpum) is among the most majestic and aesthetically pleasing of tree species in its native range in Costa Rica. It is known for its massive canopy which is a cascade of greenery wider than the tree is tall. Guanacaste trees are highly valued as ornamentals, and the shade they provide creates many an oasis on the searing and sun-baked plains in its Pacific slope habitat. It was declared The National Tree of Costa Rica on August 31, 1959.
