Hey, time to start a new thread.
Barbados, Bermuda, Florida, where else, Hawaii, some parts of Oz...let's talk our kinda trees!
Swing, on the casuarina, they are also some of out tallest trees, sprawling and I know what you mean about heavy wood! They blow over readily in hurricanes because they are so shallow rooted and don't respond to wind shear to keep their heigh down like the native trees, we do a lot of reductions and the hacker just chop 'em off where ver then wonder why they sprout like mad.
What you call Flamboyant...is that Poinciana?
Pic of casuarina climb...see the little yellow dot? That's me!
