As I was walking in the woods behind my home a few weeks ago, I saw this unusual tree. I had walked by it numerous times over the years but just didn't see it.

From the two uprights on the left, a third tree (root?) grows from the base of the "double" tree along the ground, turns up and forks. The branch (root?) that grows along the ground also grows another upright a few feet from the base of the main trees.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what could have caused this deformity?

I wish i could tell you what causes this odd growth. Mother Nature is amazing. My Daddy cut a Pine tree down and the fallen tree continued to grow. Explain that!!!

no, but i am curious about this particular day - the day you first saw this tree after passing by it so many times before. Q What was different this day - about you?
