Such a lovely Spring day

…decided to plant a tree in the graden

:smiley:

Wow. Second biggest tree I’ve ever seen!

Yep. That’s one helluva tree.

that tree is something straight outta fanatsy. what is the species name?

The Baobab Tree…found in Africa…

…or my back garden

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baobab

That’s a Baobab tree, if I’m not incorrect.

Read about it; it’s interesting.

opps, too late.

does anyone know what kind of tree it is that grows up to a certain height, spreads outward, and drops branches into the ground which take root and become more trunks? they’re supposed to take up like thousands of acres or something but i seem to have lost the name…

there’s also one that doesn’t have branches, it just grows taller and taller until it bends over and re-roots and becomes an arch. i can’t remember what it would be called either. anyone else heard of these?

Banyan, the first one. Don’t know about the second.

I am discovering more about The Banyan…what a strange tree indeed…forming a kind of lattice of roots and thin trunks…forming a kind of natural prison cell…fascinating…
