About Qeshm Mangrove forest
Hara Mangroves are trees that live along tropical coastlines, rooted in salty sediments, often underwater. Qeshm Island is one of the largest and most vast mangrove forests in the world, in which the UNESCO recognized the unique forests of Qeshm. Qeshm Hara forest located in Soheily and Tabl village.
The trees of this forest absorb seawater and can be used for the tree. This is the secret of their sustainability in these circumstances. In the mangrove tree, there is a purifying property that acts as a natural purifying system of water and absorbs seawater and dissolves it. Hara trees are seen only in green every season, standing firmly in the water.
mangroves are flowering plants, but unlike seagrasses, most of the plant lives above water. The upper trunk and all of the branches and leaves of a mangrove tree live completely above the water line, while the lower trunk and the very large system of aboveground roots (called prop roots) are often covered by seawater. Each year, at the end of the spring, the blossoms of mangrove forest are blossoming. The massive wild honey bees fly around this vast forest throughout the time of mangrove blossoms. The summer honey from Qeshm comes from the nectar of Gol Hara and has a strange smell of Hara flower.
