We are interested in buying a book on the local fruits, trees and plants of St. Croix. Any suggestions on titles? I have done three searches and have come up empty.

Thanks for the help.

Jones, Kenneth D., Native Trees for Community Forests: A Guide to Landscaping with the Native Trees of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands (Virgin Islands Department of Agriculture, Urban and Community Forestry Assistance Program, USVI: 1995)

Thomas, Toni, Traditional Medicinal Plants of St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John: A Selection of 68 Plants (University of the Virgin Islands, Cooperative Extension Service, Agriculture and Natural Resources Program, USVI, 1997)

Sources for these include local bookstores, the USDA offices on St. Thomas and St. Croix, UVI bookstores (340/692-4162, 693-1561), and places like the Whim Plantation on St. Croix.

The Cooperative Extension Service of the UVI lists other relevant books on its website. You can read articles on local plants for free on this site and also on the local USDA website. A search for Olasee Davis will bring up articles by a local ecologist.
