The Gumbo Limbo tree is a native South Florida favorite known for its striking red, peeling bark and resilience in tropical climates. Often called the "tourist tree" because its bark resembles sunburned skin, this tree can grow up to 60 feet tall, providing excellent shade. It's drought-tolerant and salt-resistant, making it perfect for coastal landscapes.
The Gumbo Limbo is low-maintenance, attracts wildlife, and its dense canopy offers protection from the sun, making it a popular choice for residential yards, parks, and streetscapes across South Florida.
