Lol thanks, I’m an arborist and I was thinking everything I know about tree biology says this shouldn’t happen… but on the other hand trees are amazing so who knows.
I don’t know if flipping one would work but there a tree at my in-laws that fell over after a storm, snapped at the base probably a good 6m tall thing, and last time a saw it it was growing branches upright along the trunk and looked like it had shot new roots down from the underside, so yer plausible at the least I think
Is this actually true?
Sadly no. It’s called the upside down tree because it looks that way due to the way it was cultivated. https://web.archive.org/web/20161101060819/http://old.ubyssey.ca/culture/discover-the-best-trees-on-campus-992/
No it’s a camperdown elm. I looked it up.
Those do look like they’re growing upside down kinda, though.

What your favourite tree, and why? (Justifications can be as arbitrary as you want)
(I am craving of real tree content to replace this disappointingly false post)
Justifications can also be arbortrary
