Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Multi 'legged' birch, 0 by David_Vermont

Late this afternoon I went for a walk in our woods. Here is a picture that I took of a black birch that as a seedling got its start by growing on a stump of a cut down tree. The 'nursery' stump has long since deteriorated away leaving the 'trunks' of the roots reaching down to the soil. In my wandering I have found black birch of various sizes and the nursery stumps that have been in various degrees of decay. I find this tree to look more like fauna than flora!
