Ever rounded a corner and spotted a tree engulfing random stuff like a bike or sign? Turns out it’s a real phenomenon called edaphoecotropism—trees wrap around objects blocking their growth as a stress response. A famous case is Scotland’s Bicycle Tree: a villager left his bike on a sycamore branch before WWI, and over years the tree grew around it. Now visitors flock to see its handlebars and frame sticking out of the trunk. Have you ever found a weird tree “munching” something local? Did it make you double-take?
