This tree is on the Coast Guard Base where Ryan's boat it docked. This sort of growth is common in more tropical climes, particularly among species of fig (Ficus). A strangler fig can actually begin its life above ground, sprouting on the limb of another tree, then extend its roots down towards the ground while also sending branches and trunk upward. Over time, the original tree dies off and the strangler fig completely usurps the space.
