Palo borracho: The Drunken Tree

The Palo Borracho is a large tree native to South American countries such as Paraguay, Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil. It is a tree with beautiful flowers and a rounded crown, native to subtropical and tropical regions of dry and warm forests.

Commonly known in German as the "floss silk tree," it grows as a broad-crowned, fast-growing tree and reaches heights of over 15 meters. The trunk diameter can reach over 1 meter.

Because the trunk of older trees is sometimes thick and barrel-shaped, serving as a good water reservoir during the dry season (Image 1), its stature has earned it the Spanish common names "Palo borracho" or "Arbol botella" ("bottle tree").
