Those look like fig leaves, but the pole doesn’t look like it came from a fig tree.
I think it’s a strangler fig, which grows from seeds that are left in the tops of other trees by birds.
I think it's just been made to look like a tree. A tree having been sawn down and debarked would definitely not survive being turned into a utility pole.
Notice it has two different types of branches on it. Looks like leaves and needles.
Parasitic Vines
The pole is dead, but two different vines climbed it and branched out.
That does make sense
Might as well
More like somewhatinteresting, am I right
This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.
