中国桂林，一颗1000年的古树

Are the smaller trees part of the bigger tree? Were the smaller ones planted by humans to help hold up the limbs? Very cool tree no matter what.

那些小树是大树的一部分吗？还是说那些小树是人类特意种植来“扶持”大树的？无论如何，这树非常酷。

Can't be sure, but there are trees similar to this which grow aerial roots, which begin to hang from branches. As the roots meet the ground, they establish themselves as "trunks". In Hawaii we called them banyan trees, and I believe someone else in this thread pointed out this is a strangler fig...think it's in the same genus (Ficus).

我不太确定，但类似的树会长有气根，它们是从树枝里长出来的。当那些根接触到地面，它们就会建立自己的“树干”。在夏威夷，我们称之为榕树，我相信这贴里会有人说它是绞杀榕...认为这是在同一个属（榕属；无花果属）。
（注：绞杀榕长这样）

You are correct. Banyan tree/ aerial roots

你是对的。这就是榕树和气根。

Yep, in fact this is called 'Big Banyan Tree' on English tourist maps.

没错，事实上在英语旅游地图里称它为“大榕树”。

I'm a biologist by trade and general science enthusiast (by night?). I cannot believe I've never heard of this kind of tree, thank you good sir, this new information is unreasonably exciting to me!

我是个生物学家，并且是个一般的科学爱好者（在晚上？）。难以置信的是我从来没听说过这种树，感谢你先生，这个新信息对我来说是个很大的刺激！

Lot's of banyan trees around the Sarasota, Florida area. I believe the Ripley's mansion has some amazing banyans that you just marvel at their beauty and size and the way they drop their roots downward like this pic.

佛罗里达州的萨拉索塔有很多榕树。我相信在普利的豪宅有很多这样的榕树，你会惊叹于它们的美丽、尺寸以及像照片里向下垂的根部。

I wonder if it drops seeds down that grow into the support system? That way it can just sprawl over a huge area creating a forest if left alone for another couple 1,000 years.

我不知道是不是它会向下播撒种子形成一个支撑系统？如果是这样的话，再让它在那里过一千年，这样就可以扩展到一个巨大的地区创造一个大森林。

That is a fucking cool idea

这真TM是个超酷的想法。

Huizi told Zhuangzi: “I have a big tree, the kind they call a “stinktree.” The trunk is so distorted, so full of knots, no one can get a straight plank out of it. The branches are so crooked you cannot cut them up in any way that makes sense....There it stands beside the road. No carpenter will even look at it. Such is your teaching – big and useless.”
Zhuangzi replied: “So for your big tree, no use? Then plant it in the wasteland, in emptiness. Walk idly around it, rest under its shadow. No axe or bill prepares its end. No one will ever cut it down.”

惠子对庄子说“我有一颗大树，大家称它为“樗”。树干是如此扭曲，充满了疙瘩，没有人能从中得到一块直的木板。树枝太弯曲了，在这种情况下你无法用任何方式把它们砍下来...即使栽在路边，木匠也不会看它一眼。这就是你所教的——大而无用。”

Oh man how neat is that. Not often you get so much neatness in one location

得了吧兄弟，（照片里的树）这多整齐啊。你很少能在一片区域里能找这么多整齐的树。

I've been here. Cool! It's rare I can say I've been to the place . I can confirm that it's an old tree, and it's totally beautiful, just like those eloquent, snowy haired old men you sometimes see singing nursery rhymes to themselves in the supermarket.

我曾经去过那里。酷！这在我去过的地方中都很罕见。我可以证实，这是一颗古老而美丽的树，就像那些你偶尔会在超市遇见的白发苍苍、唱着童谣的老人。

How come China has better trees than us?

为什么中国有比我们更好的树？
