Interesting growth form

Post by leland »

I came upon this tree covered with hylocereus plants. It is common to see one plant send a long thin stem up a tree and then to branch out to mature stems when it reaches more sunlight above. This is the first time I`ve see a tree covered like this. One possibility is that a quantity of seeds were deposited here in bird droppings or by some other manner and the climate has sufficient humidity that many grew.
