mWe must have heard many interesting things regarding them. Ever heard that trees that grow deep in the soil can move? If your answer is no, then some trees can move, according to a BBC report. The BBC reports that palm trees, which are found in abundance in Quito, the capital of Ecuador, have a unique ability to travel like this.
The BBC reports that these trees move up to 20 meters each year. Paleobiologist Peter Varzanski of the Slovak Academy of Sciences Bratislava, an Earth Science Institute, claims to have witnessed such a phenomenon during his research in the forests of Ecuador. The biological name of this tree is Socratesa exorrhiza. These trees are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. These palm trees are found in abundance in the Sumaco Biosphere Reserve, 100 km from the city of Quito, Ecuador.

When soil erosion occurs, new roots of these trees grow in search of new, firm ground. Then, slowly, the roots sink into the new soil. In an interview with the BBC, Peter Varsansky said that he found through his research that once the roots are firmly planted in the soil, the tree gradually bends to new roots and the old roots are completely lifted from the soil and destroyed. He claims that this relocation of the trees will take regarding a year. He also says that during his research, he found palm trees that moved regarding 20 meters every year.

This is a topic that has been discussed in the scientific world for a long time. Biologist Gerardo Avalos, director of the Center for Sustainable Development Studies in Atanas, Costa Rica, calls the tree movement a myth. He asserts that the roots of the tree do not move. Gerardo Avalos says that this is a made-up story just to entertain visitors to the rainforest.
