How our relationship with this plant has changed over time.
Indigenous communities in the Oaxaca mountains lived among these trees. They were part of the natural forest landscape at high, cool altitudes.
Botanists identified the tree as a distinct species. Researchers began documenting its specific range within the cloud forests of southern Mexico.
Collectors now propagate these trees from seed. You work to mimic the cool, mountainous conditions of its native habitat to support its growth.
