Turpentine trees, locally called Gumbo Limbo are found throughout the Island, but mostly in dryer forest.  

Did You Know?
This unusual-looking tree found in dry forest areas has a reddish, peeling bark. The leaves and sap smell like turpentine and have many medicinal properties, but it is the peeling bark that gives the tree its nickname – "Tourist Tree".
