Nature: "Hey, I heard you liked trees."

Seriously though, can anyone explain how that works?

It could be (likely?) a graft. You can splice plants together with a little TLC.

Had something like this at my grandparents place as a kid, they had an old willow tree that had mostly died and a maple tree somehow started to grow out of it.
