A large historic Silk Cotton ( Ceiba pentandra) tree. It is a native deciduous tree that has a massive trunk recognized by its large, protruding buttress roots. The bark has spines on it, and as it gets older the spines diminish. This large tree often reaches more than one hundred feet in height and has horizonal branches usually beginning far up the trunk. These hikers are taken a break from hiking down Libanon Hill stream on St. Croix. (Photo by Olasee Davis)
