Close to where the saliña Washikemba descends into Boka Washikemba the longest tree of Bonaire (28 m.) is growing in an east-west direction. The shape of the tree is the result of the almost constantly blowing Eastern Trade winds.
The tree is called Buttonwood mangrove. The leaves have two red notches located at the base. The soil where the plant grows is salty. To survive these harsh conditions the salt is ejected through the two red notches. When it rains, the salt is washed away from the plant.
