The location is only approximate - no GPS receivers are allowed on Cuba so, I have no exact record of the place.

Hello,

This is a great picture. However, I wanted to tell you that this is not an apple tree. I am originally from that area of Cuba and apple trees do not grow there. This looks like a mango tree.

Greetings

Thanks - I corrected the title

Kind folks, I am also from this area and the photo is very probably from a hill side near Banes, just as shown. But the tree I must say is a cashew (we call it marañon). If you look closely several fruit are still on the tree near the top. They are yellow in color. Some small mango species will give yellow fruit, but the shape of the branches, the small leaves (as compared to mango), and the dry twigs on top tell me this is not a mango. Sorry to disappoint you Pipino. CanadianMaps, thank you for the beautiful pictures, and for this particular one, which I would have titled "Caballo Viejo" and forgone the tree question entirely.

Thank you for the kind words. I renamed the photo to avoid confusion.
