Has anyone seen roots inside a tree? And knows how this comes about?

ROOTS inside a tree

On Monday, I found a damaged tree with soil & roots inside of the tree.

I couldn’t find the missing part, so I have no idea what broke open the tree or why.

I went on an invasive vine-ripping rampage today and uncovered two American holly saplings and two oak saplings the deer haven't found yet! Win! #nativeplants #woodyplants

Black Chokeberry was covered with clusters of white blossoms, is loaded with berries, and will be vibrantly colored in fall. It’s an excellent alternative here in Western New York for the invasive Burning Bush. #blackchokeberry #aroniamelanocarpa #woodyplants #nativeplants #killyourlawn

Osculate is a literary word meaning to kiss. Inosculate is when two trees accidentally become grafted to each other and exchange sap. Our #WoodyPlants class found this pair of osculating maple trees near Milan— note the smaller tree is so well fed that its trunk is larger above the graft. #botany
