Karapit Tree

The Karapit Tree is a significant species found in Dominica’s rainforests, particularly near popular trails leading to the Emerald Pool and within Morne Trois Pitons National Park. Known for its impressive prop roots, the Karapit Tree is commonly found alongside notable trees such as the Gommier and Chatannyé, contributing to the island’s lush and diverse ecosystem. This tree helps create the dense canopy characteristic of Dominica’s forests, offering shade and habitat for various wildlife species.
