An Oddity In The Woods

Tree in TreeOut in a cluster of trees in a town near us, there’s one of the oddest things I’ve seen in nature.  It’s a cedar tree growing out of the limb of a cypress tree!  It’s quite high up in this tree too.

People are guessing there was something wrong with the cypress tree’s limb which made it have a gaping hole in one of its limbs.  This hole must’ve been filled with dirt and stuff, and then a cedar tree seed found its way inside there.  Perhaps a bird relieved itself while perched on the branch several years ago?  Who knows?

It’s been growing for a while now, at least several years.  I wonder how much longer it can continue growing before it either breaks the limb or runs out of room for its roots?

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting for people to see something like this.  Has anyone else seen odd things like this?
