Colombia’s Largest Tree, So Big That It Has Grown Pillars To Support Its Branches

This gigantic-looking tree is a Ficus, also known as a fig. Regarded as Colombia’s largest tree, Ficus is allegedly 30 meters high and 75 meters in diameter. 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.
