It looks like 40 trees growing out of 2 massive trunks. Looks ingenious.

Every plant I've ever grown does pretty much exactly that. Cut a ways above a node and it'll make the two under it longer.

I didn't know that applied to trees. That would take a tremendous amount of patience and respect for the enviroment.
