Fiddlewood Trunk

The fiddlewood is a common tree that can be found in both dry forest and moist forest environments. The wood is very dense and has been used on St. John to make furniture and musical instruments.

The flower, which comes out in the spring, has a beautiful sweet aroma that can be quite pronounced during the early morning hours.
