@KevinSimler I'm guessing but maybe because they normally grow in rainforests where they need to be tall to reach the light. -
@evokit that's what i thought, but it's supposedly native to the region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceroxylon_quindiuense …) - 2 more replies

@KevinSimler the fact that they were more dense means that there was a lot more competition for sunlight - hence they were tallerThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sarahdoingthing@KevinSimler Tree species usually get very tall when they have to compete for light in dense forests. - 1 more reply

@KevinSimler I was just there a few months ago. Those trees are at very high altitude because the land they were on was once at sea level.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
