Christopher Columbus described the island of Haiti:. “Its lands are high; there are in it many sierras and very lofty mountains…all are most beautiful, or a thousand shapes; all are accessible and filled with trees of a thousand kinds and tall, so that they seem to touch the sky. I am told that they never lose their foliage, and this I can believe, for I saw them as green and lovely as they are in Spain in May, and some of them were flowering, some bearing fruit, and some at another stage, according to their nature.”.

Famous for reaching heights of over 160 feet, the Brazil nut tree towers above other trees in the Amazon rainforest. During January and February, its fruit -- which is the size of a baseball and can weigh up to 5 pounds -- ripens and falls to the ground, reaching speeds of up to 50 mph on its descent. Inside the fruits’ hard, woody exterior are anywhere from 10 to 21 nuts arranged in a pattern similar to segments of an orange. The outer casing of the fruit is so hard that only one known animal -- the agoutis, a large rodent with sharp, chisel-like teeth -- can crack it open. In just one year, a Brazil nut tree can produce some 250 pounds of nuts.. Are . really . cool!. Mangrove Trees. Grow where no other trees can grow!. Have huge roots!. They l. ook . like this!.
