It Looks Like A Normal Fig Tree,

ever year it is growing stronger and even some years fruits,


photograph Reddit, but what is it with the people in the top left of the photograph? they are upside down!

this is the right way up, one of a very rare occurrence in the world, a tree growing as it normally would, but upside down! the tree is growing in is he ancient ruins of Baiae, near the modern city of Bacoli, in Italy, in a cave, the tree is literally inverted, growing toward the ground, no one knows exactly how the fig tree ended up there, or how long it has been growing for, or whether it was somehow planted or just started growing there by sheer happenstance, for the story and how to get there have a look here,

but whatever the reason, it is as far as I know unique in growing perfectly upside down, but what a great way to harvest the olives!
