Inspired by the banyan tree - 'Aaladmara' in my native language Kannada, the plant grows aerial roots from its branches atop a host tree. These roots drop down to earth and grow into thick trunks, thereby providing more support to the ever-growing tree!
Fun fact - a banyan tree in India has the broadest canopy of any trees in the world - spread over 5 acres!
And now to the idea! These aerial roots of varying heights can act as support and allow Tippi Tree to grow wide around the trunk. Also, if your leaf block is lucky, the roots will hold it from falling!
