John Mitchell Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Never made it to Dzibilchaltun but have seen these trees growing at other archaeological sites in the region. I wonder if it could be one of these. They are tall and have oval leaves. The Ramón tree is also mentioned here.

Sounds like "Ramón" might be the local (Yucatecan) name for the Breadnut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
