Are these trees found all over St. John or are they just a few? Are there any located on the beaches or hiking trails that we may need to be aware of. I have read of only one that is marked poisonous. Are there others that may be accidently stumbled upon?
I don't think you'll have a problem with this, If you haven't been on STJ before, when you hike, you are either on a trail where there are no trees blocking you or you're foolishly slogging through very thick growth, which there's no reason to do. Just don't climb any trees. I've seen many labeled ones near beaches, some with signs to avoid them, but bottom line is, just don't climb them and they will leave you alone. They don't drop any sap on unsuspecting hikers from what i've seen. I've never seen any in very populated areas like the center of Cruz Bay.
