Colombia's Largest Tree Is So Big in Diameter, It Has Grown Pillars to Support Its Branches
The foliage is so huge, the tree has grown pillars to support it. A wonderful sight indeed. Under this colossal tree, one has the sensation of being in the basement of a great building, with many columns that support the giant mass, Viajar en Verano reports. Some people in Latin America call it 'The Tree That Walks, because of its 'feet' with which it ensures its expansion. Indeed, the pillars it has grown are like limbs through which it advances to cover a larger area with its branches to receive the sun's rays more directly or find more fertile land to feed on. Even more interestingly, the Tree of San Marcos is not a tree. It's several trees. Image credit: Viajar en Verano
