Crab Apple Roots

I was out looking around my stock plants today and noticed one of my crab apples was growing aerial roots. Never seen it before and I am putting it down to the weather. Rory showed the original, but I'm claiming silver.

I've been seeing aerial roots on a few things lately, other than figs that is - they are putting out more roots than leaves :palm:

I also assume its weather related

We've never grown aerial roots on figs down here in Canberra, until this year - it's normally too dry. Hope you North Coast folk are travelling OK...

Interesting.

I have only ever bought one crab apple. All root cuttings have leaves out. I know have several :tu:

Are you going to try and propagate??
