About the product: This deciduous coral tree flowers late in the dry season blooming thousands of scarlet red flowers that are incorporated in regional traditional dishes. These flowers are not only a delicacy for humans they also serve as source of nectar for hummingbirds and some bat species. Found in thirteen states across Mexico, the Árbol de Pipe has multiple colloquial names: Colorín, El Pito, & Zompantle are some of its other aliases.
