Visit our website livingtreasures.eu to find out more about the history of our plants and the Maya people, the indigenous peoples of Guatemala and Southern Mexico. The Maya Tree and Maya Palm have been part of the Maya people’s life for centuries and we have selected plants that are native to the area they inhabited. The Maya Tree and Tres Cañas (Yucca guatemalensis) grow in the mountainous areas, while the Maya Palm (Beaucarnea recurvata) is found in the more arid areas in the region.
