Noteworthy Local Trees
I don't know the author but I think the book is great and the motivation for the book even greater.
"Aug. 27, 2006 – The marketing notion of the Virgin Islands – iconic palm trees swaying in the breeze – is nowhere on University of the Virgin Islands professor Robert Nicholls' radar.
His interest lies in other trees, bigger trees, as illustrated in a new book, "Remarkable Big Trees in the U.S. Virgin Islands, An Eco-Heritage Guide to Jumbie Trees and Other Trees of Cultural Interest.""

Hello there again! I must say, you post the most interesting topics! I love trees, have learned the name a genus of many, never considered writing a book, but I just don't see how you can miss the palm trees, either the coconut or the giant ones in the rain forest. They must be 200 years old. Hmmmm.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. I might get the book and just pen in a palm section!
Warmly,
Dan
