A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion New Members Hola from Southern Mexico

We´ve retired here, built a home right on the ocean...on a sand bar with a beautiful lagoon in back...Trying to find plants and trees that won´t be eaten up by the salty air...We are in the midst of cocoanuts, mangos, bananas etc. but so far, only hibiscus, boganvilla and a few other plants really like it here. Any ideas? I did not see this subject in the index.

Thanks All for the welcome...Special Thanks to Mister Mystery for the ideas and sites....think I tried everything But...Salt tolerent ....
Some of these I think I already have ...The lantana is doing good in a raised bed...before the dogs ate it..I will look at all of these and see what I can find...We are really in a remote area and plant nurserys are far away, also need to learn some of the local Spanish names for the plants...One they call Copa de Oro is good here.
Gracias..
