Best Answer

Balsa trees are native to southern Brazil, Bolivia and north to southern Mexico. They can be grown in Hawaii and Guam and are related to the cotton plant. Ecuador supplies 95% of the commercial balsa. So to get back to your question, unless you live where the balsa tree can be grown, it is NOT locally grown.

Where is lime locally grown?

Lime is a citrus fruit that is grown on a large scale in southern Iraq. In the US, limes are grown in Florida, Arizona, southern California and many come up from Mexico. The key ingredient is the lime tree must not get cold, so unless you live in a semi-tropical climate, you can't find limes locally grown. There are some growers who will buy the small lime trees that can be grown indoors, but limes from those will cost extra as they will be called "locally grown" and do require special treatment.
