Yes! Debbie, the Gumelemi evidently is the same as Gumbo Limbo. Thanks for teaching me that. A Bahamian friend confirmed it.

Gumelemi/Gumbo Limbo is my most favorite tree...they are like living sculptures. The bark peels, and some here call them "tourist trees". The photo is of our front garden.

In reading about Gumbo Limbo, I read that the birds were not attracted to the berries. But here in Abaco, they seems to love them!

Tomorrow I plan to collect Bromeliads...and I've found a few places to put them (without copper--thanks for that tip!)
