Redwood Trees. The Redwood, a Tree of Interest to Tropical America One familiar witli the principal tinil)er and shade trees of tropical America must have observed the increasing popularity of redwood (Adenanthera pavonina) as a shade and ornamental tree along the streets and in the parks of cities and towns in the West Indies. The tree is a native of the tropical East and is found most abundantly in Bengal, South India, Burma, Molucca, and North Queensland. Its botanical distribution has, however, been greatly extended by planting, and it is now growing in practically all warm countries of both hemispheres. It was introduced into the West Indies at a very early date and has now become thoroughly naturalized particularly in Porto Rico and Cuba. The islands of the lesser Antilles and the shores of Central and South America border- ing on the Caribbean Sea afford congenial conditions for its growth and development. It occurs sparingly also in southern Florida. The tree is named redwood From the color of the wood; it is also called coral wood
