What is the difference? Is this why some rare trees I’ve seen have a flatter and more root like canopy? Intuitively it seems kinda plausible for some of the trees I’ve seen in places, especially old trees on the edge of inner city areas and very old municipal golf courses where they could be around the right age. That abstraction is admittedly WAY out on the edge of my awareness. I can’t even pinpoint where I have seen curious trees like that. I think it might have been a municipal golf course and around the library downtown in Chattanooga Tennessee 25+ years ago.
