Now this is the story of how my life for flip turned upside down

Is this actually true?
No it’s a camperdown elm. I looked it up.
Those do look like they’re growing upside down kinda, though.
Lol thanks, I’m an arborist and I was thinking everything I know about tree biology says this shouldn’t happen… but on the other hand trees are amazing so who knows.
I don't know if flipping one would work but there a tree at my in-laws that fell over after a storm, snapped at the base probably a good 6m tall thing, and last time a saw it it was growing branches upright along the trunk and looked like it had shot new roots down from the underside, so yer plausible at the least I think
Depends on the tree. A lot of palms that get topped due to high winds just die
No, although I wouldn’t put it past a mangrove or redwood to actually do this if we gave it a go.

RIP
Sadly no. It's called the upside down tree because it looks that way due to the way it was cultivated. https://web.archive.org/web/20161101060819/http://old.ubyssey.ca/culture/discover-the-best-trees-on-campus-992/

Hmmm, do mangroves count as shrubs or bushes?
