My husband is interested in obtaining a book, with pictures & information on Costa Rican trees & plants so that he will be able to identify the “flora” and learn more about them…suggestions?
Libreria Internacional in the MultiPlaza and in Santa Ana, in the strip mall to the south of AutoMercado, has a very comprehensive guide to Costa Rican flora.
Here’s the non-ripoff source.

BIG Question? Are you talking about fruit or all trees? It also depends on what the elevation and/or soil is. Trees that do well on river bottem soil might not do well in the mountains. If you would like fruit trees I can give you Jesse’s number. He has the largest fruit tree collections in the country. If you are looking at all beneficial trees I can give you Derick’s number. One hour with him will blow your mind. So just a book on CR trees is not going to do didly.

That is a great link. I’m confused though about how to purchase from them. I live here in Manuel Antonio, and it looks like of you order with a CC which has a billing address in the States, then the delivery has to go there. Do you know how we can purchase any of these books while living here in CR? Is there somewhere that I can pick them up in person? Thanks![quote=”pranaspakeywest”][quote=”Doug Ward”]Here’s the non-ripoff source.

You can go to inBio park and get them….or……if you have any friends near San Jose they could grab them.
I had an employee pick them up a few times and I think he got them from the U of CR book store.
I’ll ask him later today.[quote=”baontheriver”][quote=”PeggyS”]My husband is interested in obtaining a book, with pictures & information on Costa Rican trees & plants so that he will be able to identify the “flora” and learn more about them…suggestions?[/quote]

He was looking at all beneficial trees as well as bananas, plantains, etc.
