Oddly trees (Post a picture thread)

[Kievnstavick]

Another tree I found quite interesting in Hawaii.

I can't tell if this was one tree or two. The two trunks look like they are lovingly embracing each other to death.

What tree species is that?

What tree species is that?

I couldn't tell you unfortunately. The canopy was pretty high up and I didn't take a picture for it. Some sort of tropical that puts out aerial roots

I've seen something

I saw this one in a forest up north, it's similar, I just assumed it got hit by lightning. Your photo is super weird though.

I have seen some that look like that too.

I don't think that explains the ones posted, but I recall a thread someone started where they were working on replicating these.

The little Osage is taking on its shape nicely. I will snap a few pictures and update that thread sometime in the next few days.
It’s hiding in the chestnuts In this picture

Some of the ones in the pictures look like they were crushed by other trees in their life. Makes for very interesting twisted trees.

I thought it was you, but wasn't sure.

Another pic from the beach. Beautiful hike, one of my favorite.

How long was that hike? All day? Half a day? I'm visiting the U.P this Autumn and would like to see Chapel Rock, but I've got a tight schedule. Won't have time for too many long hikes.

That tree has had a rough life!

It's about 3 miles in and 3 miles back. We stopped to see Chapel Waterfall & went down to the beach for lunch. We weren't in a hurry and spent about 3 hours there, before we moved on to our next waterfall destination.

Thanks! I think I can squeeze that hike in, then.

I saw this tree during a hike to the Natural Bridge in Kentucky. It's clearly reenacting the bow scene from the Titanic.

This is the strangest olive I have ever seen. Especially the bark. Matala, Crete, Greece.

Would this qualify as root over rock or tree over rock?

It looks like a species of strangler fig on its host tree.
