The Sea Almond Tree
Common Name: Sea Almond
Scientific Name: Terminalia catappa
Family: Plantae
Found
on coastal regions, the sea almond has the ability to cope with sandy, well
draining soil, and salt spray.
Its fruits
have a smooth outer skin that covers an inner layer of corky fibers, allowing
it to be easily dispersed by water.
The
sea almond’s extensive and deep-rooting structure allows it to a dune retention
species against proposed climate change and sea-level rise.
The
Sea almond tree has a distinct pagoda shape, formed by its tiered branching, to
allow sunlight to reach deep into the leaves near the stem.
