I was actually wondering if it was some kind of Mangrove. Wish I could say I had a big greenhouse but I haven't even a small one . Guess I'll have to settle for a Weeping Willow for an enclosure-type tree. Thanks, Peter. I was actually wondering if it was some kind of Mangrove.

I'd guess it's a kind of fig - I saw something similar in Yakushima. That was curtain fig, Ficus microcarpa, the aerial roots of which were straddling a drive or small road, much as Jeffrey's one appears to do. For some reason I never photographed it, so it's great to see these excellent photographs. Sorry, but I think in Ohio you'd need a very large and fairly warm greenhouse to grow it - definitely subtropical! The common Swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa) does a bit the same sort of thing, in time, with long aerial roots. Weird plants... Isn’t it wonderful?

Hope Peter or someone can identify what type of tree it is and if it would grow anywhere. I'd love to try one here in Ohio, but heaven only knows how long it would take to become that interesting. Or if, with judicious pruning, one could achieve some room-type structures. Could be fun. Fascinating tree form.
