Ok, fantastic pictures.

Botanically and Baja Sur challenged,

What is the meaning of zaletas?

Is there an English name for the trees? They are awesome.

Actually jr, Zalates(Rock Figs, Ficus palmeri) grow well up into the Sierra San Francisco and may even get up farther north--as evidenced by DK's(?) posting some time ago of a lone Zalate at Tinaja De Yubay. There's some big ones by Mission San Gertrudis as well. Nice pics jr -thanks for posting them!

Yah JR, listen to Mexitron... you should get out more and see new places in Baja!:lol::lol:

Tinaja de Yubay is north of the L.A. Bay road, north of Desengano, and a few miles east of Hwy. 1, east of El Crucero site.

The ficus was photographed by Harry Crosby in 1967, and it is still there.

Zalates


These trees grow in Costa Rica as well. I've seen them growing near the beach on the Pacific side.

They are beautiful and very large!!

Great pics as usual JR. and thanks for the help with my little Jouannetia Pectinata (Tee! Hee!) shells.

See you soon JR. ....... Barbi

hahahahaha


I probably had that one coming!:lol:
Like you David, I have been a lot more interested in Baja Sur while you have been interested in el norte.
Won't get into the reasons but does every Zalate in Baja norte have gps coordinates posted on your site ?:lol:

Gypsy, they are known in Baja sur as Zalate Higuera. They are a wild fig tree and thanks to another post regarding these beauties by Mike Humphreville, I learned they are related to the Banyan Tree of the tropics.

All figs, oddly enough, are closely related to Cannabis and hops....same family--Moraceae.
