Competition
“Tree of the year 2016”
Is this France’s Tree of the Year? The owners of
Martinique’s Habitation Céron and likely the entire
population of the French-Caribbean island think so.

To complement the competition, Habitation Ceron
is also running a Facebook photo competition, and
will award a prize every 10 days for the best picture
of the Zamana tree. n

And they hope you will, too.
That’s because the 300-year-old Zamana tree, on
the grounds of the 17th-century sugarcane estate in
Le Prêcheur, is a nominee for France’s fifth annual
Arbre De L’Année (Tree of the Year) competition. A
single tree is nominated in each French region, and
Habitation’s Ceron magnificent specimen, which has
an eight-foot-diameter trunk, is Martinique’s entry.
All the nominees are listed on the competition website,
http://www.arbredelannee.com, and the public can
vote for their favorite tree from now through August 31.
