Smothered tree... Árvore emaranhada...




A native tree grows many times ago at the edge of Jurimirim Dam, near my house. This tree have been smothered by a kind of climber shrub, but I don't know the name of this invasive plant. Maybe there are a lot of birds and insects nests inside their leaves and twigs branches.

Uma árvore nativa cresceu há tempos às margens da Represa Jurumirim, perto de casa. Há muito tempo ela tem sido sufocada por uma espécie de planta invasiva, que não sei o nome. Talvez haja muitos ninhos de pássaros e insetos por entre estas folhas e galhos emaranhados.

I named that tree as "Captain Hook" and "Ghost Tree" on the post I did in October 03, 2007.
Eu chamei esta árvore de "Capitão Gancho" e "Árvore Fantasma", no post que fiz em 3 de Outubro de 2007.

Photos taken by myself.

    I wonder what it is about that tree that the 'plant' decided it would be a perfect home for it? So very very interesting, Sonia.....Nature is fantastic, isn't it? Do you see Birds flying in and out of the Plants that has taken over the tree?

    Poor old tree, I hope Captain Hook is happy inside his cloak of green leaves and vines.

    What a strange-looking tree - it's surprising it can survive with all that invasive growth. I love the setting by the river.

    We have something similar out here, an invasive plant called Witches Broom. It smothers natives given half a chance. It's interesting, isn't it? You'd think the natives would be able to fight back.

    Like most non natives (people included) we are opportunistic

    I know when i travel south in US - they are lots of trees covered in vines - not good for the trees - but an interesting look. Thanks for the posting. Jack
