Brazil Trees
Featuring ourselves in the featured project! We are planting Brazil seedlings - an important and interesting local tree as part of our ongoing project to plant trees. The dyewood, or Brazil wood tree (Haematoxylon brasiletto), has a distinctive, twisted shape and a deeply grooved trunk. These trees played an important role in the early history of Bonaire. In fact, the oldest known map of the Caribbean (from 1513) labels the island as "Ysla do Brasil" ("Island of the Brazil tree"). A red dye was extracted from the wood and used for coloring fabrics. The Dutch seized Bonaire from the Spanish in 1636 in part to gain access to this commercially profitable product.
