Remarkable sight!

Thanks! I really like all the bromeliads on the roots. It’s similar to how bromeliads grow in the wild.

I hardly noticed the broms until you pointed them out!

Bromeliads are very commonly planted in the landscape here. They’re super easy to grow in sun or shade.

I would give my left pinkie for that. Looks super exotic and from what I've read they don't need misters or sprinklers wetting the whole lower part of the tree to grow those awesome roots
