Living Bridges of Ficus Tree Roots
02-21-2015, 08:41 PM
Ficus tree live root bridges, some more than half a millennium old. Takes fig tree cordoning to a whole other level.
Now, how to leap from this idea to cold zone cordon survival?
Meghalaya villagers create 'living' bridges by training roots across a river | Daily Mail Online

Ancient vines and roots of trees in Meghalaya, India, stretch horizontally across rivers and streams, creating a solid latticework structure strong enough to be used as a bridge.

That's cool regardless of what kind of trees they are. It reminds me of something you'd see in a fairytale movie. Thanks for posting.

I've seen this somewhere else. It makes me wonder what clever person took the notion . . . .
