    Two trees may grow to their mature size adjacent to each other and seemingly grow together or conjoin, demonstrating inosculation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramification_(botany)

    In botany, ramification is the divergence of the stem and limbs of a plant into smaller ones, i.e., trunk into branches, branches into increasingly smaller branches, and so on. Gardeners stimulate the process of ramification through pruning, thereby making trees, shrubs, and other plants bushier and denser.
