Lapacho is an evergreen tree, with rosy colored flowers, belonging to the Bignonia family. An healing herb that is prepared from the bark is referred to as Pau D'Arco. Pau D'arco has been used by indigenous peoples of South America for thousands of years for combating disease. The unique chemical makeup of the inner bark of the tree has been proven to be an effective treatment of tumors and infections.
The wood has also been used for building and is extremely durable and resistant against mold (good for the rain forest). The wood, like iron is so strong that you cannot hammer a nail into it, you must use a screw driver and screw.
We'll need to find an open spot for this beauty to stretch out in its glory.
