We saw this tree while walking into town and cannot tell what it is. It looks like some kind of Bananna but odd shaped. Can anyone tell me what this is?

I'm pretty sure Fiona is correct on the Divi divi tree. We bought a decorated pod from Yenni, a local folk artist and that's what she said it was from.

It's a Flamboyant. There's a very nice one in front of the Catholic Church on the way out of town towards Sorobon.
