#rubber tree

    Living root bridges in Cherrapunji, India. The Ficus elastica tree has secondary roots that can be guided hundreds of feet across rivers. In time they grow into bridges strong enough to support dozens of people at once. These bridges continually grow and strengthen over time, some are hundreds of years old and are still used daily.   

I am in love with rubber trees, I want one so bad

Wow! Impressive and cool!!

For the last 500 years, the locals of Nongriat in Meghalaya, India have grown several hundred bridges across the region’s numerous water channels, using just the roots of local ribber trees. Some of the bridges extend over 100 feet in length and are strong enough to support more than 50 people at a time.
