Fun Fact: Mexican Alvaradoa is highly tolerant of limestone and rocky, alkaline soils where many other plants struggle to grow. This makes it a pioneer species, often one of the first trees to colonize and help stabilize disturbed, rocky areas in its native habitat.🪴🌵 This tree is far more than just a pretty face; it's a critical host plant for the larvae of several rare and beautiful butterfly species, most notably the Bartram's Scrub-Hairstreak (Strymon acis bartrami). This butterfly relies almost exclusively on the Mexican Alvaradoa for its caterpillars to feed on, making the tree vital to the insect's survival. This is a perfect example of a tight ecological interdependence.🐛🦋
