Also the eponymous Brazil nut tree [0], which can be 60% taller than a coconut tree at 160 feet and has fruit about the same size. I heard that they are sometimes referred to as "the widowmaker". They cannot be cut down by law, so areas that have been cleared for farming often have lone Brazil nut trees still standing [1].

They grew more in the north in tropical forests. I think I never saw one in a city.
