Where to buy a Nim-Tree (Neem)?
Hi, thank you,
yes I remember there was a thread but I couldn't find it. If I remember it right, it did not contain an answer to the question where to buy it here in Bavaro.
So, you think, any "Jardineria" should have them, then I'll go out there and look for them
Didn't know they are that common.

There is a Plant nursery "Vivero" just before you come into Los Corales on the right hand side...just before the curve leading to Ave Alemania, they should have them there!!
And I just asked my son where the nearest nursery was here in town to go get a couple. His answer:
"Viejo, outside there are dozens of them, they are like weeds. Wherever there is a Nim tree there are little trees nearby."
Okay, so maybe I had better be more aware of my surroundings...

Funny that you ask this question cause I'm in the market for a Nim tree as well. I've always been told they help with mosquitos. The two viveros I know of is the one already mentioned in Los Corales and there is another if you make a right at Friusa gas station. Close to the Ferreteria Americana.

Great, will check them next weekend. If they don't have them or if they try to charge "gringo-bonus" I'll get in touch w/ Hillbilly to see how I could get a better deal, lol.... Thanks!

Got my Neem "Tree" today in the Vivero close to Ferreteria Americana in Friusa. Not cheap, 500 RD$ for a sapling of more or less 2 feet. They have taller, more expensive ones there, too.
The sign says "Nin" but the guy I asked there before knew right away what I was talking about. So, know I will see if it really makes a difference to have one around...

I'm extremelt surprised at what you payed for the Neem sapling, considering that Neem grow here like weeds, and they're all over the place. I could send you all the Neem samplings you want, via Caribe Tour or other, for the transportation cost and handling (packaging).
Well, I read that before from Hillbilly, that they grow all over alas I did not really know how they look like in "real" and must say after having the sapling I did not see them around somewhere... well, maybe not here in the area.
My question is also if it is really the same tree what is growing all over, if so, why there are not less mosquitos around if these trees use some chemical which keeps mosquitos away...
Time will tell, if it not works I might carry the (by then maybe 20 feet high) tree back to the vivero, lol
If it works though I might come back to you since I might need more in the future.

I planted Neem trees about twelve years ago, which can be seen towering over my home in the foothills north of Azua. There are no mosquitoes, however, I can't vouch the Neem has anthing to do with it, since this plateau very arid and windy.
