Vegetation here in Puerto Rico is amazing. Plants will grow anywhere and everywhere. This tropical almond tree is a tenacious old tree and you can see it is growing right next to the decking of this beach house. The roots are spreading out across the beach and frequently are bathed with salt water and yet...it still thrives. The bark of the roots becomes smooth and gets a beautiful patina from the washing water and wind. The bark on this tree looks more like driftwood than a living tree!
