Trees are an incredible part of nature – but sometimes they can grow so huge, they start to outgrow even the largest objects surrounding them.

That’s the case in these amazing pictures captured by nature lovers from Poland to the US, who’ve found trees which had started to grow over objects like signs or benches and fences. 

Many shared their snaps on social media, with Bored Panda collating the very best into a viral online picture gallery.
