The Pimento Tree

 


 

The pimento tree up country in Saint Ann, Jamaica.

 

During my recent visit to Jamaica, I spent time up country in Saint Ann with my dad Kilowatt and walked around our yard looking over the flora.

Growing up, us kids would sit with Mum and her friends under the pimento tree and gather the black peppercorns for sale in our community square. 

The pimento tree became our focus again after living through Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, an experience that would change our family’s futures.

The pimento tree is still standing.

Jamaica, we are here.

Time, to create our new futures.
