Breadfruit tree Breadfruit tree:

   Surely in another place and
time this nutritious fruit 
would've been the salvation
of the British Empire's West
Indian colonies. With a hard
taskmaster for a Captain the
survival of this plant took pre-
cedence over human lives.
Water for the Breadfruit plants;
shipmates...not a drop. "Mutiny
of the Bounty."

Baobab tree Baobab tree:
(Adansonia digitata)

  One of only two mature trees in
Barbados. This remarkable tree
of girth forty-four and a half feet ...
is believe to have been brought
here from Guinea, Africa around
1738 making it over 250 years
old. It's jug-shaped trunk is ideally
suited for storing water, an ideal
adaptation in the dry savannah
regions of it's native Africa. [The
other] even larger Baobab tree of
girth sixty-one and a half feet ... is
located in Queen's park,
Bridgetown Barbados --
Barbados National Trust.
