![]() We live close and have passes to the Wild Animal Park and SD Zoo. Have you been to the Wild Animal Park? In my opinion (which doesn't count for much) the plant life at the Wild Animal Park is amazing. They have bamboo like I have never seen before and the most amazing varieties. You go from the tropics to Africa settings and the plants follow. I'm sure you have seen this stuff but I was just throwing my 2 cents in. Great pictures by the way. I haven't been in awhile and your pictures are making me want to go.

![]() Haven't been to the Wild Animal Park in a long time. I am only about three miles from the zoo. With passes and such a short distance Mason and I go often. Its funny I never noticed all the fruiting plants until I started growing some. There is a mini plantation at the north east corner of the zoo, bananas , guavas . coffee . Check it out.

![]() As soon as you enter the zoo hang a right. Go all the way to the north east corner. You will see the Pitaya plant , right above it is a soda machine and picinc bench ,the coffee plant is right there. All the plants are labeled .There are other areas in the zoo with fruiting plants , but this spot is the most consentrated.
