Station 6
The Exfoliation
This tree is representative of the Dry Forest; its name is Indio Desnudo (Bursera simarouba) and because of the caducity the tree loses its leaves and as a result its capacity of feeding. Luckily the trees’ bark posses the capacity of making the photosynthesis, therefore separating or exfoliating its bark constantly will guarantee that it maintains in good conditions, ensuring its feeding.
