Meet the “Socratia Exorhiza” palm, the tree that can WALK!

The “Socratia Exorhiza” palm is unique because it moves from one place to another until it reaches more sunny places.

The way of its movement is that new roots grow in the foreground, and the old ones die and are displaced from their place.

The distance covered in a year may be 20 metres, but it can ‘walk’.

It is found in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
