Research shows that these plants were planted around 1930. The trees were allowed to grow for 7-10 years before they were harvested for wood to be used for mechanical purposes. Some of the locals are of the belief that the purpose of growing these trees was to use the wood in boat hulls and furniture by carpenters from the German Special Forces around the 1930s. But then the chaos broke out due to World War 2 in 1939 and they never got a chance to harvest the wood from these trees.
