Libidibia CoriariaAlso known as: Caesalpinia coriaria, Divi-Divi
The species was first described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1763, as Poinciana coriaria. In 1799, Carl Ludwig Willdenow transferred it to the genus Caesalpinia, and in 1830, Diederich von Schlechtendal transferred it to his newly created genus Libidibia. The genus Libidibia was not always accepted and the species was usually placed in Caesalpinia, until molecular phylogenetic studies led to the reinstatement of Libidibia.
Now that we got that out of the way.....
This species is a leguminous shrub or a small tree native to the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, northern and western South America. It has a rounded, spreading crown and it usually grows up to 10 meters tall, but can be much taller. The bole is short and seldom straight; it can be up to 35cm in diameter. The evergreen tree is especially prone to wind-training in exposed areas, giving rise to increasingly picturesque specimens with flat-topped crowns and leaning trunks. Can be grown as a bonsai. The bipinnately compound leaves are finely textured and can reach up to 6" long. The small, yellow-green flowers are held in dense, 2" long panicles and are not considered showy. The flowers are followed by twisted, 2-3" long pods that contain small, glossy brown seeds.
It has been used in Central America for many centuries as a tanning material and its cultivation spread to several other countries, particularly India. It is grown as an ornamental in many parts of the tropics and is sometimes still cultivated for its tannins.
It tolerates a wide range of climates, thriving in dry, warm temperate climates to wet tropical climates. Tolerant of a wide range of well draining soil types, including rich clay and sandy soils in full sun to part shade. Hardy in frost free Zones 10 and above.
This offer is for 15 seeds.

Yes, Black Cowboys in NYC!
Format: Hardcover
I just read this book with my granddaughter on Libby and ordered it immediately from Amazon. (I will also order it in a Spanish version for my granddaughter to bring to her school). My husband is a musician who performed at the “Atlantic Antic” in Brooklyn many, many years ago. He told us about the Black Cowboys in Brooklyn who trotted up to his concert on Atlantic Ave. “It was surreal,” he said, “to see black cowboys on horseback in New York City!”

thrilling ride of a book
Format: Kindle
Beautiful... I love the tenderness of the father-daughter relationship, and the gentle love between rider and horse, contrasted with the raw thrill of the pre-dawn adventure. This book manages to portray something so specific - an urban horseback ride - with such deep and universal appeal.

Beautiful book!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book perfectly exemplifies how soft and simple can be so magical. The lyrical language laden with sensory details, paired with the vibrant visuals, makes for an absolute treat of an experience! The father-child time at night immediately reminded me of OWL MOON and just like owling, urban horseback riding is something we’ve never experienced personally, so it was especially thrilling to experience it with my children through this book.
I also love that this book is a celebration of Black culture and joy. Finding the universal through the specific is the key to any good story, and the author has a real knack for it. Just like the Abuelita in this story, my mother is the first to wake up, and we find her nestled in her chair with a cup of coffee. And the description of the little girl’s kiss on her Abuelita’s papery cheek brought back memories of my own grandmother’s papery cheek – something I miss very much. Picture books really are for everyone.
All the starred reviews are so well-deserved and I’d be very surprised if this book didn’t win awards. Highly recommend!
