I spotted this tree at James Gardens and was intrigued by the way it splits from a centre core and then each side branch lays down on the ground to grow outwards. There are grasses in the same plot which haven't sprouted yet which makes the tree's shape more visible than it is in summer.
A most unusual and interesting tree. Could this be in a Japanese garden?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how some trees grow this way. "Lazy Tree" is a good name for it.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking.
ReplyDeletePretty unique!
ReplyDelete...that pine is amazing, it looks like an elephant sat on it.
ReplyDeleteSerpentine. Like if you blinked and looked again it could disappear. :-)
ReplyDeleteThere must be a story. Lightning?
ReplyDeleteThat is a remarkable tree, it must be old.
ReplyDeleteGosh isn't that amazing Pat! The resilience of nature is astounding at times ✨
ReplyDeleteI think this tree is fantastic place for children climbing.
ReplyDeleteIndeed ideal for playing children.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the tree grows naturally that way or was it "encouraged" by arborists?
ReplyDeleteBien agarrados a la tierra.
ReplyDeleteCuídate.
Un abrazo.
I have days like that.
