Day 338: The upside-down tree

Yes, really. I laughed when I first heard about this - a tree that had apparently been re-planted upside-down so its roots now grew into branches, and its branches established roots. Nonsense, I thought. As it turns out, the label was a nickname for a tree I walk past regularly which has a convoluted (and I mean really convoluted) branch system. A quick Google search turned up some info about the tree, which states that it is a wych elm grafted onto a witch hazel trunk. I've been wondering about getting a good picture of this tree for a long time, so I am more than happy to use it for today.
