Does anybody know what kind of tree this is? And whether those things around and hanging from it are roots, vines or branches? There's a tree just like it on my route home from work but it's not as magnificent as this specimen along
Roxas Boulevard in the City of Manila.
je n'ai aucune connaissance des arbres, mais par contre je le trouve très beau (et imposant).
ReplyDeleteI have no knowledge of trees, but on the contrary I think it is very nice (and is imposing).
Is it not a banyan tree putting out roots to grow? In the US, we have similar trees in Florida.
ReplyDeleteI am just trying to figure out a tree myself, sorry I can't help.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image and the tre is huge and fascinating.
Ain't it a Balete?
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like it's a Ficus tree...In South Florida they thrive...and look good. Except the root system is very invasive.
ReplyDeleteCan't grow them in Central Florida as any freeze kills them.
hummm In fact I don't know the name of this beautiful tree , neither the meaning of "Jaywalk" !!!!But ,certainly I know this tree is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteKind Regards

I don't know either, but it must be a very old tree. And it's very much in contrast to the new and modern buildings in the back.

Hi Hilda. First of all thank you for following my blog. I once got a tickect for jay walking(crossing the street outside of a crosswalk or during a red light) I was innocent that time so the Judge threw it out. The tree is beautiful but other than guessing that it's some sort of mangrove I have no idea. Thanks for posting, there aren't any trees like that around here.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a Balete. At least, it looks like my brother's bonsai balete :-)
ReplyDeletewow. IF that tree could talk...what stories..
ReplyDeleteGreat tree. Relly looks like it's walking, very slowly.
ReplyDeleteWe do not have trees like this one in Ohio. We have some Oak trees that grow large but not this large around the trunk.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jacob, it looks like some kind of Ficus and all those hanging roots are perfectly normal in old specimens. We have them here too, not so majestically 'trunked', this is not the tropics... (but I wish it was!) :-)))
ReplyDeleteI have no guesses, but it's a very impressive looking tree.
ReplyDeleteImpressive in the side of the street trees. Like the street is observed.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. It's very interesting looking.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a tree like this before. I doubt they'd survive along the 45th parallel.
ReplyDeletei think it's balete. dont know though what it is in english.
ReplyDeleteIt dose look like a banyan tree. We have a lot of them here. They get humongus as they age and look magnificent. Thank you for for visit and following me, Hilda. You have always been so kind!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a tree expert, but my guess was a banyan tree. But regardless of the type of tree, it definitely does look as if it is getting ready to jaywalk. I hope it doesn't get a ticket!
ReplyDeleteA lovely scene and a lovely BIG tree--we don't have trees like that where I live!
ReplyDeleteHilda, jaywalkers is the scarriest part of driving in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteFor most DElhiites Jay-walking is a norm and using subways an option. Nice road... would love to drive on this one :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a balete tree. Balete tree is a type of ficus tree.
ReplyDeleteIt’s Banyan Tree. Just like here in South Florida, It thrives near the seashore and tropical weather
