Never heard of arial roots! Very interesting. I did not feel them. And it probably was a fig tree. So I guess your suggestion makes good sense. Thanks

Looks like some kind of fig tree maybe? If so aerial roots might be happening after a big wet season... that's my 1st theory anyway. Did you feel them? Flexible?
