Costa Rica's Tropical Climate
Costa Rica has two main seasons that influence tree flowering and fruiting patterns. The dry season triggers many species to flower, while the wet season supports fruit development.
Dry Season (Verano)
December to April
Peak flowering season for many species. Many deciduous trees lose their leaves and produce spectacular blooms.
Wet Season (Invierno)
May to November
Primary fruiting season. Abundant rainfall supports fruit development and dispersal by animals.
