Second part of a story about the forest’s interconnectedness through its roots. In fact, this story is about canopy soil, a relatively new discovery that soil exists on the top of trees that helps to facilitate all sorts of life. The major discovery in this piece, however, was the fact that there were trees of the same kind growing in the canopy soil; upon further inspection, the roots of the trees stemmed directly into the trunk of the tree itself. THE TREE WAS GROWING A TREE ON ITSELF! Absolutely mind blowing, would highly recommend giving it a listen.
