Big trees that make you say, "It's like a giant bonsai"

Black Willow trees living in/on NY freshwater ponds. Looks like they grow aerial roots to aid with stability; my best guess. Pretty amazing how the fallen trees even grow new roots right out of the upper trunk and thick branches.

My guess is water level was higher at one point, and they ground layered themselves.
