If you visit St. Croix, be sure to take a peek at the Baobab Tree, 250 years old, sited in a rural neighborhood of modest homes. We had a tour last month, and learned that the slaves brought seeds from Africa. Three such large old trees exist on St. Croix. They have weathered countless storms.
There are many folkloric tales explaining how the baobab tree has three trunks. It is one of the most enduring life forms on our planet.
