The tall tree in the center is Blolly with a Joewood to its left and broad leaved Poisonwood around it. These plants are surrounded by salt wind and water, nutrient poor soils and harsh sunlight. Hurricanes and violent storms beat these plants into twisted shapes that are truly beautiful to the trained eye.
Although a salt water bay surrounds this island, fresh water is trapped underground in the center. Short periods of salt water flooding are tolerated, yet fresh water is available most of the time.
If you would like a bonsai themed garden, combine these naturally occurring plants. There are also Black Torch, Wild Dilly, Bay Cedar, Key Lily, Locust Berry and Blackbead within this habitat.
