This pictures were taken in Pirangi do Norte, Parnamirim, Brazil (Really interesting the native names they use on their cities in the North-east)!
This is the biggest Cashew in the world with an area of approximately 7500 square meters according to wikipedia.
This tree has 2 genetic anomalies that make it so unique, one is
the branches grow sideways instead of up ways and because of the weight the bend until the touch the ground and create new roots and they grow from there again!
