Japanese Car Tree
June 25th, 2009 by James
A car tree in Ageo, Saitama:
Apparently a bird dropped a seed into a junkyard 25 years ago and a Japanese hackberry tree began to grow there, eventually lifting an old car into the air. Branches of the tree grew through holes in old car doors, lifting those as well. Workers at the junkyard have built a small fence around the tree, and are protecting it as it continues to grow.

Cool development. But I wonder if it’s things like this that give Saitama the nickname “Dasaitama”?
Hhahahahahahaha what a funny story! I hope the video got some subs so that i can understand what they are talking about
lol cool story, the holy tree :p good marketing by the locals
this could have been faked you know, that car looks abit too new to be 25 years lod.. and the tree trunk is weirdly too thick for its height..
i think the chopped a tree, put a car, and some random junk on it, and allowed the tree to grow back
