Trees are our best friends. They give us oxygen, keep the ground together, and provide shade, but what if we told you they are also slowly killing innocent fences, bicycles, and even road signs? That’s right; the trees have mastered the art of slow but very lethal hugging. Just imagine what it would feel like to be embraced by an old oak one millimeter at a time until you become whole.

All jokes aside, here are some really weird photos of trees devouring nearby objects!
