ROOTS
The mangrove tree blooms where it’s planted.
Of course, one could say that all plants do that, but this unique species of tree thrives while saturated in salt water and poor soil. It has not only learned to tolerate the inhospitable environs between land and sea but put down roots. Literally.
Their large roots hold the trees above the briny water or the sandy soil while the base of the roots excrete the excess salt.
Easily identifable in the Florida Everglades and the myriad esturaries that rise up through out the Southeastern United States with their radially spreading roots.
