I am at a local soccer club and there is a large screen showing Google images. One picture came up and I had to get closer to understand what it was. It is a photo of a tree growing in the Dead Sea between Jordan and Israel on what is a small salt mound. Photo credit - Tzevika Stein - Israel
The only tree in the Dead Sea ... https://youtu.be/J532xYaTALk?si=hLUklcBfjSj_b_g-

I once had to remove a sapling that had grown out of the exit pipe of the toilet overflow at a house, I felt guilty as it had made an incredible effort and I have no idea where it's nutrients came from; it got occasional moisture and sunlight.
@atlantic59 If it's roots had reached that far it would be understandable but it could've only had water from the toilet if it overflowed which I had never known, so it was surviving on rain water and sunlight. I also remember being impressed in Kuwait by a fig plant growing and fruiting which was in the sand and getting it's water from the air conditioning overflow. I assume somebody had planted it there or thrown a fig there or something but it's resilience was amazing. If I remember correctly it was mostly under the tent fly sheet so it was shaded.
