The knobby above ground growths are a part of the root system. Weird to look at. This tree will grow in the water, but this one is on the bank of the lake.
Thanks, Morris & Jacques, glad you learned something new. Warbler, that sounds really cool with the lamp. These trees are all over my lake. Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, Morris, I didn't realize you guys were that far apart. I thought you were neighbors. Matter of fact, I didn't know Ill was that big! Mary, I love these trees too, and it's so strange the way they love the water. Maybe they're akin to ferns, their foliage looks like it.
I love these trees Texas.We have lots of them here too,especially in swampy areas.The ones that empress me most are at Reelfoot Lake in the NW corner of TN.That is probably because I really love that lake.
Sis, Chickiemama and Chookies, it's very easy to step on or trip over these things, some stick pretty far up (maybe 8") above the ground. Maybe that's why they grow in or so near the water. PLG & Shirley, they must not grow in your areas. Glad you saw something new. They are beautiful in spring, fall, summer and winter all. I love these trees.
B & P, here's an earlier puzzle that's a picture of the whole tree. The tree is beautiful, with a sort of fern like quality of limbs. Glad you learned something! http://www.jigidi.com/created.php?id=F9VHEP6Y
