Tree Tuesday - The Copey
THE COPEY
It is a tree that is located in Isla de Margarita, Nueva Esparta State, specifically in the capital La Asunción, in the Cerro El Copey National Park. The name of this park is due to this beautiful Copey tree. In my opinion, it is a strange tree because its roots are not like a common tree that extend at the bottom and look for depth. This tree produces roots in its stem and its branches. When the roots fall to the ground, another tree is produced and another Copey is growing.
En Español
Es un árbol que se encuentra ubicado en la Isla de Margarita, Estado Nueva Esparta, específicamente en la capital, La Asunción, en el Parque Nacional Cerro El Copey, el nombre de este parque se debe a este hermoso árbol. A mi parecer, es un árbol extraño porque sus raíces no son como el árbol común que se extienden en la parte de abajo y buscan profundidad. Este árbol produce raíces en su tallo y en sus ramas. Cuando las raíces caen al suelo, se produce otro árbol y así va creciendo otro Copey.
Its roots
Almost the whole park is covered by this type of tree. The roots are piled one on top of the other. And grows side by side. Sometimes you can believe that it is a tree, but the reality is different. There are several trees in one.
Sus Raíces
Casi que todo el parque está cubierto por éste tipo de árbol. Las raíces se ven amontonadas una sobre otra. Y crece uno al lado del otro. Algunas veces se puede creer que es un árbol, pero la realidad es otra. Son varios árboles en uno.
Its leaves are broad and produce a yellow and white flower. At that time I could not observe the flowers
Sus hojas son anchas y producen una flor amarilla y blanca. En ese momento no pude observar las flores
Your Fruit
Its fruit is strange because it looks like a guava, it is green, but I also got a dry one.
Su Fruto
Su fruto es extraño porque parece una guayaba, este está verde, pero también conseguí uno seco.
I loved being able to visit this park with my family and one of the park guides.
Me encantó mucho poder visitar este parque junto con mi familia y con uno de los guías del Parque.
I recommend this Park as a place to breathe the pure air of nature and spend a different day out of the routine.
Les recomiendo este Parque como un lugar para respirar el aire puro de la naturaleza y pasar un día diferente fuera de la rutina.

Nature is really amazing. Thanks for these gorgeous photos.

I'd like to invite you to participate on my Art Curation Initiative #9
Yes, the wonderful creation of God is incredible. To the order!. I also love these photographs. And it is a poisonous fruit for humans but not for birds and wild animals.
hello @noritza .. I enjoy reading your post as if I'm with you with your family to enjoy the fresh clean air. I know it's hard to find the flower because it must be somewhere high on the branches.. do you know that this fruit is poisonous to human? and you can sign the leave?
If right. It is poisonous to humans, however when the fruit is opened, it contains seeds that are eaten by birds and wild animals.
Yes.. you can read it on wikipedia, find clusia rosea or clusia major😊 birds love it, it is a hemapiphyte tree and sometimes it looks like straggling ficus. Thanks to you.. after reading your post, I search about the tree out of curiousity😊.
Nice fruit! I wonder what it tastes like? ... and looks like, when you don't get a dry one!
I have dropped by as @cicisaja featured you in the @pifc Curation Contest!
It is not good fruit because it is poisonous. I do not dare to try it, because then I will not be able to continue sharing photos hehehe, it is a poisonous fruit. I would like to know why it is poisonous for humans and not for animals? A good question to investigate
Fascinating tree! Thanks for sharing so much information - and such great pictures!
I found you today because @cicisaja featured you in the Pay it Forward Curation contest. Keep up the great work!
