Ive known Alfonso many years and he is probably not going to be around for much longer. His sons have learnt a fair amount over the years. His farm is on the chaquay river after the village of Tocoa. Its after the Barrick Gold mine about 7 km. His farm which was created in the 80's was installed by Enda Caribe. A german NGO that brought many varieties of tropical plants to the DR. The most famous being the Acacia Magmum which is widely used for lumber purposes. Fast growing semihardwood. There are varieties that they introduced that have sprad across Hispaniola in an alarming way. Such as the the Causarin sp? Its in many streams and river banks and is spreading quick. But to get back to Alfons's show farm. There are many trees and plants that they introduced that have positive benefits. The star fruit, miracle fruit, zapote negra, cereza suliman are all commonly found fruits now. Also Black pepper and Vanilla are found in that region.
