Rain Trees

Rain tree, also called monkeypod tree, is a shade tree that grows in tropical climates. Rain trees have short, stout trunks and long spreading branches. Some trees measure more than 100 feet across. The trees are called rain trees because moisture that looks like rain often drips from them. However, scientists believe the liquid is really a discharge from insects feeding on the trees.

Rain trees have pink and white flowers. The seeds of the trees grow in thin, black pods that are often eaten by monkeys. A freshly cut tree has moist wood that can easily be carved, and it keeps is shape as it dries. Rain tree has a golden to dark brown color and is used to make bowls, trays, and other articles. The tree is native to Central America, South America, and the West Indies. In the United States, it is grown in Hawaii and Florida.
