Adaptive Roots in the Concrete Jungle

Although the Sifter has already featured ‘adaptive roots growing into concrete‘, I couldn’t resist sharing this awesome example as well. Unfortunately a reverse image search on Google and Tineye did not reveal any additional information as to the photographer or where this was spotted. One site stated this tree was in Happy Valley, Hong Kong but there was no proof; so for now, we’ll just admire this tree’s ability to adapt to it’s surroundings and survive. If you know any more info, please share in the comments!
