    My wife used to work at a summer camp that had a huge, old weeping beech tree on the property - it was so widespread, they would use the canopy of it to tell stories in shade. What was interesting about it was a number of the branches would grow outward for about 10-20 feet and then seem to re-root and sprout back up. So I always assumed (for that species anyway) that it did serve a purpose of spreading out for access to nutrients.

      🚀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
      (After Jehovah's work, Jesus became flesh to do His work among people. This is the work for a new age after God ends the Age of Law. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work is completed, a new work will continue the rule of God. This incarnation is the second incarnation of God following the completion of Jesus' work. Every new phase of God's work always brings a new beginning and a new age. When Jesus came to the human world, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, the God became flesh again, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and ushered in the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept God's second incarnation will be taken to Age of the Kingdom, and will personally receive God's guidance. Completely saving man from Satan's influence not only required Jesus to take on man's sins as a sin offering, but also required God to do a greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which Satan corrupted. All who submit to His dominion will enjoy a higher truth and receive greater blessings. They will truly live in the light, and obtain the truth, the way, and the life.)
      Almighty God said
      After JEHOVAH'S WORK, JESUS became a HUMAN being to do His WORK among PEOPLE. 🙏
      His WORK was NOT carried out SEPARATELY, but BUILT upon JEHOVAH'S WORK. This is WORK for a NEW AGE after GOD ENDS the AGE of LAW. Also, when the work of Jesus was finished, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire government of God is always progressing forward. ☀️
      When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the OLD WORK is COMPLETED, a NEW WORK will CONTINUE GOD'S RULE. This INCARNATION is the SECOND INCARNATION of GOD FOLLOWING the COMPLETION of the WORK of JESUS. ☀️
      Of course, this incarnation does not happen alone, but it is the THIRD PHASE of WORK after the AGE OF LAW and the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️
      Each NEW PHASE of GOD'S WORK always BRINGS a NEW BEGINNING and a NEW AGE.
      There are also corresponding changes in God's disposition, in His way of doing, in the place of His work, and in His name. 🙏
      No wonder, then, that it is difficult for people to accept God's work in the new age. But regardless of how man opposes Him, God always does His work, and always leads all mankind forward. ☀️
      WHEN JESUS ​​CAME to the WORLD of MAN, He BRINGED the AGE OF GRACE and ENDED the AGE OF LAW. 🙏
      In the TIME of the LAST DAYS, GOD again became FLESH, and when He became FLESH at this time, He ENDED the AGE of GRACE and BRINGED in the AGE of KINGDOM.🙏
      ALL who RECEIVE GOD'S SECOND INCARNATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, and WILL PERSONALLY RECEIVE GOD'S GUIDANCE. ☀️🙏
      Although JESUS ​​DID a LOT with MAN, He only completed the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND and became the sacrifice for MAN'S SIN, and did NOT remove from man ALL his BAD DISPOSITIONS. ☀️
      The complete saving of man from SATAN'S INFLUENCE NOT ONLY REQUIRED JESUS ​​to take on MAN'S SINS as a SIN OFFERING, but also REQUIRED GOD to do a GREATER WORK to COMPLETELY rid MAN of his DISPOSITION, which SATAN CORRUPTED. And so, AFTER MAN was FORGIVEN of his SINS, GOD RETURNED to the HUMAN BODY to LEAD man into a NEW AGE, and BEGAN the WORK of CHASTISEMENT and JUDGMENT, and this WORK BROUGHT MAN to a more HIGH COVERAGE. ☀️
      ALL WHO SUBMIT to His DOMINION WILL ENJOY a HIGHER TRUTH and RECEIVE GREATER BLESSINGS. They will REALLY LIVE in the LIGHT, and GET the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. 💐🙏

    There are a few species of Willows which grow in a prairie reserve at my community college. The small Sandbar Willows form bunches and bundles together which tend to crowd out other plants. The ones that grow old enough to actually resemble a tree don’t exactly look like a weeping willow, but they do get all twisty and spread out instead of growing taller and taller. Perhaps because they grow near the edge of water, getting too tall could make them unstable.

    Before watching the video: my understanding had always been that the weeping variant basically turns the tree into a giant, photosynthetic dome that can get good sun in virtually any place they set root.

    In the part of Sweden were I live, wild weeping willows (and other kinds of salix) and weeping alders are pretty common close to bodies of running water, dipping their branches into the water. But you hardly see them anywhere else, unless planted by humans.
    Its not uncommon to se free branches flooting around in the water that has started to form roots, perhaps that is part of the explanation why weeping varieties of these trees are the most common there. The branches that reach the water start to root and then detach from the trees, to be spread to other places. You can also sometimes see small floating "islands" of debris under the trees, that have been caught by branches still attached to the trees, and those branches often start to root in the debris, and as more debis get caught, with time it sometimes form new land.

    I SPECULATE THAT these trees are more resilient to storm damage since they are a) flexible and b) lower to the ground for a given extent of growth. They also maximise sunlight absorbtion when not planted too close to other trees.

    reaching high is neccessary if you have other vegetation that would otherwise throw shade on you.
    if you grow in a savanna, I don't think it matters much. or as theorized in the video, it might have more benefits than disadvantages in such a case.
    however, herbivores' ability to reach low hanging vegetation matters.

      🚀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the last age in which God saves man from the destruction of this old world"
      (After Jehovah's work, Jesus became flesh to do His work among people. This is the work for a new age after God ends the Age of Law. When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the old work is completed, a new work will continue the rule of God. This incarnation is the second incarnation of God following the completion of Jesus' work. Every new phase of God's work always brings a new beginning and a new age. When Jesus came to the human world, He brought the Age of Grace and ended the Age of Law. During the last days, the God became flesh again, and when He became flesh this time, He ended the Age of Grace and ushered in the Age of Kingdom. All those who accept God's second incarnation will be taken to Age of the Kingdom, and will personally receive God's guidance. Completely saving man from Satan's influence not only required Jesus to take on man's sins as a sin offering, but also required God to do a greater work to completely rid man of his disposition, which Satan corrupted. All who submit to His dominion will enjoy a higher truth and receive greater blessings. They will truly live in the light, and obtain the truth, the way, and the life.)
      Almighty God said
      After JEHOVAH'S WORK, JESUS became a HUMAN being to do His WORK among PEOPLE. 🙏
      His WORK was NOT carried out SEPARATELY, but BUILT upon JEHOVAH'S WORK. This is WORK for a NEW AGE after GOD ENDS the AGE of LAW. Also, when the work of Jesus was finished, God still continued His work for the next age, because the entire government of God is always progressing forward. ☀️
      When the old age passes, it will be replaced by a new age, and once the OLD WORK is COMPLETED, a NEW WORK will CONTINUE GOD'S RULE. This INCARNATION is the SECOND INCARNATION of GOD FOLLOWING the COMPLETION of the WORK of JESUS. ☀️
      Of course, this incarnation does not happen alone, but it is the THIRD PHASE of WORK after the AGE OF LAW and the AGE OF GRACE. ☀️
      Each NEW PHASE of GOD'S WORK always BRINGS a NEW BEGINNING and a NEW AGE.
      There are also corresponding changes in God's disposition, in His way of doing, in the place of His work, and in His name. 🙏
      No wonder, then, that it is difficult for people to accept God's work in the new age. But regardless of how man opposes Him, God always does His work, and always leads all mankind forward. ☀️
      WHEN JESUS ​​CAME to the WORLD of MAN, He BRINGED the AGE OF GRACE and ENDED the AGE OF LAW. 🙏
      In the TIME of the LAST DAYS, GOD again became FLESH, and when He became FLESH at this time, He ENDED the AGE of GRACE and BRINGED in the AGE of KINGDOM.🙏
      ALL who RECEIVE GOD'S SECOND INCARNATION WILL BE TAKEN INTO the AGE OF THE KINGDOM, and WILL PERSONALLY RECEIVE GOD'S GUIDANCE. ☀️🙏
      Although JESUS ​​DID a LOT with MAN, He only completed the REDEMPTION of ALL MANKIND and became the sacrifice for MAN'S SIN, and did NOT remove from man ALL his BAD DISPOSITIONS. ☀️
      The complete saving of man from SATAN'S INFLUENCE NOT ONLY REQUIRED JESUS ​​to take on MAN'S SINS as a SIN OFFERING, but also REQUIRED GOD to do a GREATER WORK to COMPLETELY rid MAN of his DISPOSITION, which SATAN CORRUPTED. And so, AFTER MAN was FORGIVEN of his SINS, GOD RETURNED to the HUMAN BODY to LEAD man into a NEW AGE, and BEGAN the WORK of CHASTISEMENT and JUDGMENT, and this WORK BROUGHT MAN to a more HIGH COVERAGE. ☀️
      ALL WHO SUBMIT to His DOMINION WILL ENJOY a HIGHER TRUTH and RECEIVE GREATER BLESSINGS. They will REALLY LIVE in the LIGHT, and GET the TRUTH, the WAY, and the LIFE. 💐🙏
