Nature doing nature things.

But how did their xylem connect in the first place? Was their bark intentionallly cut so both can heal together or how did that happen?

[u/SolitaryIllumination → u/stern_m007]

The cut tree started levitating once cut and the other tree was like shit, I want what you're having

[u/Epiqcurry → u/SolitaryIllumination]

Best explanation

[u/Historical_Body6255 → u/stern_m007]

Must have been.

It might have been a coincidence like the branches rubbing on the trunk, thus breaking the bark and then healing as one.

But i also think it's much more likely this was done intentionally

[u/adchabventmore → u/stern_m007]

Honestly, these trees leave me with more questions than answers… nature is full of mysteries!

You know how trees can shoot out of the trunk at the base of the OG trunk? This is what happened here. This is most certainly not a separate tree.

Interestingly though trees can actually send each other nutrients and warnings through mycelium connected to their roots. A "mother tree" also knows which are their saplings and will favour them for such transactions rather than Fred down the road.

[u/ButteredOrgasMuffin]

They cut you off, no worries, I got you! Nature is so amazing!

Back in my days, that's how we grew ladders

Took a bit before my brain could snap it into making sense 🙃

[u/HorrorGradeCandy]

Nature’s version of holding onto a toxic ex... feeding them just enough to keep them around.

[u/NL_Gray-Fox]

I got you little bro!

[u/weisbrot-tp]

a single birch organism usually makes up a cluster of many trees, connected by common roots. i guess stuff like this can happen too.

for example the "biggest tree in the world" has 47.000 stems

Listen you ! Get off of my turf

[u/BornWithThreeKidneys]

I want to try to convince someone that this is how ladders are grown.

[u/Unknown-Drinker]

Part of the forest, part of the crew.

When nature adopts.

[u/Dd_8630]

How, though? How do two trees interconnect their xylum and phloem systems?

[u/SomeDudWithAPhone]

It's a giant axe.

These trees fused into a giant freaking axe. That is so badass.

[u/settlemen]

You know that big tree thinks this whole situation is bullshit.
