Hello Andrea,
Can you tell me if the Divi Divi tree (or it may be called something else)across the Amsterdam Manor is still alive? The one the Aruba is so well known for.

*Andrea J.* · 01-16-2009, 06:31 AM

yup it is alive and well

2 or 3 yrs ago some nimrod hacked off a large limb
much effort was put into trying to save it
the limb was lost
but those 2 lovely trees remain

I think I must take a photo of those trees every year since we stay at Amsterdam Manor. Here is my latest photo from 2008. As Andrea said, both trees are alive and well!

Why don't they plant more of those Divi trees?

Even though people refer to those two trees as Divi trees, they're actually Fofoto trees. You'll see most of the Divi trees in the cunucu or Arikok Park.
