Balsa trees (Ochroma pyramidale) are native to Central and South America and thrive in tropical climates. While they can technically grow in parts of southern Florida and Hawaii, their cultivation in the continental U.S. is limited due to climate restrictions. Most balsa wood production occurs in its native range, where conditions are ideal for growth.

What country is balsa wood found and what is it used for?

The balsa wood tree, scientifically named ochroma lagopus, is a relatively fast growing plant found primarily in Central and South America. Balsa wood trees grow best under the conditions found in rainforests, ideally in mountainous terrain between rivers. The country of Ecuador is perhaps the largest exporter of balsa wood, although many local farmers consider the plant to be little more than a weed.* http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-balsa-wood.htmAnother site with good information:* http://www.mat.uc.pt/~pedro/ncientificos/artigos/techbal.html
