On one of the islands of Panama there is a valley with square trees. It appeared in the basin after the eruption of the El Valle volcano, about three thousand years ago. Today, there is a small village and a forest with unusually shaped trees.
The “Valley of Square Trees” is a small forest where the most ordinary plants are found. Previously, only trees with square trunks grew in the valley, but with the arrival of people, an unusual forest began to be cut down. Interestingly, the annual rings in the tree cuttings are also shaped like a square.
On the Internet, you can stumble upon a variety of theories about the appearance of square trees on the island. For example, some sites write that the unusual shape of the trees is due to past volcanic activity. There is a theory about a mystical effect on the valley and even a possible curse. All this is certainly interesting, but the real reason for the appearance of square trees is much more primitive.
These trees are not the result of black magic or a volcanic eruption, but are typical representatives of the Quararibea asterolepis species, which are quite common in the southern continents and often have a strange appearance. Most of the young trees in the valley are square in shape, and with age their trunks become rounded.
In general, there is no mystery or puzzle here, ordinary trees of Quararibea asterolepis. But in any case, if you ever travel to the islands of Panama, be sure to look at the “Valley of Square Trees”.
