D. decaryi, and Bursera look great..  Looks like it is full of fruit atm too.

Myrospermum-was hoping it would still look good but it's going to sleep for the winter.  I just got a couple seedlings so was curious to see how it looked.  Nathan, do you have photos  of it in Arixona?

Have a few of the specimen in Tucson, but not the best angle of it. Will get more ( better shots ) come spring ( Suspect the specimen down there is asleep atm too )  See this specimen is loaded w/ seed..  Didn't realize there was one in the parking lot ( Been awhile since i last visited, so it may not have been there, lol ).  One i remember was located in part of the desert garden.

The one in the garden had lost it's leaves so was very hard to photograph; there are 2 in the parking lot right by the entrance.  Might have found a few seeds while I was there ;-).  I know Jacob really likes Myrospermum, and the photos from Texas look intriguing.

It's a great tree, even if it drops it's leaves in winter and goes through that gawky, teenage stage ( Like Tipuana can ) ..  Best part of course is the Flowers ( ..and wood apparently ) which smell like a combo of Cinnamon and Vanilla.
