Inosculated aerial roots on this Arizona ash, Fraxinus velutina var loumeyi at Kew Gardens.

 

Couple of images taken 5 years apart.

 

First one was taken in May 2012 and the second image taken today by Ted Green.

Some secondary growth thickening in evidence but not as much as one would expect, even the wound wood on the pruning wound is relatively limited in terms of occlusion.

 

Perhaps a good mulching to improve the rooting environment and keep those over enthusiastic snappers a bit further away :$ :D

Fine example of aerial rooting on this oak pollard in the Sierra Andia region of the Basque.

 

Can trace the 'roots' from the inside of an old occluding wound at the end of a hollow scaffold, right down to the soil.

One of my favourite things to see on a tree. That’s a beauty.
