I think some of the 2x4's from Lowes would sprout if stuck in the ground.

Many trees produce suckers, which are simply new growth out of old trees or roots when the tree has blown over in a windstorm and the like.
As a general rule, suckering applies to hardwoods/deciduous trees. Trees that have surface roots, such as ficus and liquidamber, sucker more than other trees such as pines.

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.
Actually, the "third tree" is the older of what you see there. It was probably blown over in a wind storm which is why it "grows ... along the ground." Trees don't like to grow horizontally, so once it fell over, it proceeded to grow upwards and fork. Since trees are pretty smart about knowing whether or not they are in the wrong position, it decided that it needed a couple of other trees (the two uprights on the left) to ensure that it survived. Those two uprights are "suckers" of the original tree.

Ditto on the dirty mind. Could this be doggie-style tree sex?
