Divi Divi Tree

The Divi-Divi Tree (Caesalpinia coriaria): This windblown tree is almost a national symbol on Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.The true divi-divi has inconspicuous but fragrant blossoms.

 

An evergreen capable of growing to 30 feet, it normally grows with a windswept look. In the islands the branches of the famous divi divi trees always point to the west. The trees were bent in that direction by the constant trade winds , which blow east to west.
