Hi John, thank you for your comment and for that helpful addendum! We’ve just updated the article with the common name and added a link to the corresponding wiki page about that tree genus/family.

The scientific name is included, common name omitted.

As a resident and business owner in Santa María del Tule, I can add that your reporter was present during our town fiesta to celebrate the Virgen de la Candelaria, hence the decorations on the church. The night of February 1 we had celebrated with the traditional calenda (procession) and various pyrotechnics including toritos (little bulls)and the castillo (castle). Other events that week included a celebratory mass, a candy toss, bull riding and evening dances. This fiesta is one of several celebrations that take place each year in our plaza that includes beautiful, well-tended flower gardens, is bordered by a plethora of economical yet quality restaurants and shops to sample both mezcal and nieve (ice cream), and is filled with happy friendly Tuleños, proud to call our town home.
