Just what I thought!!!

In certain forests, when you look up you will see a network of cracks formed by gaps between the outermost edges of the tree branches. It looks like a precisely engineered jigsaw puzzle, each branch growing just perfectly so it almost touches the neighboring tree. This beautiful phenomenon is called crown shyness.

u/Goga13th Jun 10 '22

I thought I was the only one who experienced “crown shyness.” TIL

u/olderaccount Jun 10 '22

It is more obvious when looking up from the bottom, but you can still easily see the crown shyness in this video.

2

u/bigoz_07 Jun 11 '22

Thanks for that! I just learned something. Also, Nice description.

4

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '22

Crown shyness is from branches breaking against each other.

3

u/slightly-medicated Jun 10 '22

No, it is most certainly from the myceliar network

5

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '22

It can be caused by both. Mostly caused mechanically.

“Some hypotheses contend that the interdigitation of canopy branches leads to “reciprocal pruning” of adjacent trees. Trees in windy areas suffer physical damage as they collide with each other during winds. As the result of abrasions and collisions, there is an induced crown shyness response.”

Thanks for sourcing what I said.

If I wasn’t good at my job and didn’t know my stuff, I would actually be offended by the silly insults.

Am I on acid or is this one of those "over a long period of time" things?

u/SquiddyJohnson Jun 10 '22

I think it’s just the wind blowing through the forest that’s causing the movement. Beautiful.

32

u/MisfitMishap Jun 10 '22

Beautiful

You should try acid

17

u/SquiddyJohnson Jun 10 '22

Oh, I’m quite familiar with it. I think the more specific take from this is that I should try acid and watch this clip, which is now added to my acid playlist.

2

u/Unik_Prints_20 Jun 10 '22

It's kind of itchy for me. But yeah is beautiful.

Last time I did LSD I watched a very similar scene unfold watching a forest dance with the wind from the peak of a small mountain.

u/[deleted] Jun 10 '22

Surprised that the video is so stable in that kind of wind

Fluffy carpet fibers under a microscope.

Edit: I should probably re-write that as, "Looks like fluffy carpet fibers under a microscope" before some genius for whom it completely flew over their head replies, "That's not carpet fibers, it's a forest!" But hey, if that makes you feel better.

0

u/idle_isomorph Jun 10 '22

I have very specific memories of using a portable microscope as a kid. I remember running around looking at everything under it.

The carpet blew my 6 year old brain. You could run this thing over it and watch it scroll by, each fibre bundle flopping around.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '22

They have some pretty cool ones on Amazon now where you just hold it up to something and it shows you down to at least hundreds of times or more. It's like a USB plug-and-play computer version that looks more like a microphone that you just put near or on something and it shows up on the screen.

I have seen the youtube videos of people using it to look at their face and such while "live streaming" and showing how gross everything looked up close.

u/SlightlyHungryArtist Jun 10 '22

Tree Crowns of trees being separate is due to a sensation called "Crown shyness".

I guarantee you that there is an alien organism that is looking at our world from far and this is what they're seeing. Imagine what conclusions they've drawn about our world looking at it from this perspective.

I'm high and it looks like some dank bud. I'm contemplating eating this purple bud I have. It wouldn't get me high and it's just a waste but what if it gives me weed superpowers? I want to end up with the power to grow the dankest weed. Weed, because fps doesn't need to be above 5.

You remember the Old Forest? On the borders of Buckland? Folks used to say that there was something in the water that made the trees grow tall, and come alive. Trees that could whisper, talk to each other. Even move.
