«Trees of Life» is a project that is being actively developed by the Nicaraguan government as a modern symbol of the country. Bright metal trees of fanciful shape are installed in different places of the capital. The height of the "tree of life" is 15-20 meters. Trees glow at night. The first "trees of life" were established in 2013, and now there are more than two hundred of them. The roots of the tree symbolize the past, the trunk - the present, and the patterned branches - the future. The “Trees of Life” give a special touch to the Nicaraguan capital and their images are increasingly used as one of its images.
