For eyes accustomed to the plurality of species found in the Amazon rainforest, just look at the average size of the trees to find a Brazil nut tree. After all, it is one of the largest found in the region, reaching incredible 50 meters in height. Fully adapted to its habitat, this beautiful tree can live for hundreds of years, boasting a crown full of branches that spread in the most varied directions.
