Its leaves are rounded, glossy, and grow densely, making it an excellent shade tree. Perhaps this is why those people brought these plants, although their growth is too slow to provide shade in a short time. The wood is considered one of the heaviest and hardest in the world. Guayacán wood sinks in water. A few months ago, on the sidewalk in front of a neighbor's house, there were two trees planted since her parents arrived in this area—a story from over 80 years ago. The first one fell for no apparent reason, and the second one followed some time later. I consider these events energetic because her parents, who planted these trees, passed away a few years ago. I feel that these plants were their legacy. Months before my mother-in-law, who is also part of the history of the settlers who came from Margarita Island, passed away, the second tree fell. Perhaps no one else understood its significance, but I did: three pillars of the community, and these trees fell.
