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.
